📘 What Is 2048?
2048 is a popular sliding-tile puzzle game where the goal is to combine numbered tiles to reach the tile 2048.
It’s simple to start but challenging to master — making it one of the most addictive logic games online.
🎮 How to Play the Game
🕹️ Controls
You can move tiles in four directions:
- ⬆ Up Arrow (or swipe up)
- ⬇ Down Arrow (or swipe down)
- ⬅ Left Arrow (or swipe left)
- ➡ Right Arrow (or swipe right)
Each move slides all tiles as far as possible in that direction.
🔢 How Tiles Combine
- When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a new tile.
- Example:
2 + 2 → 4
4 + 4 → 8
8 + 8 → 16 - Every merge increases your score, and the value of the merge is added to your total points.
After every move, a new tile (2 or 4) appears on the board.
💀 Game Over Condition
The game ends when:
- The board is completely full
and - No tiles can merge in any direction
At that point, no further moves are possible.💀 Game Over Condition

🏆 How to Win
To win, you must create the 2048 tile.
But the game doesn’t stop there — you can continue playing to reach even higher tiles like 4096, 8192, or more.
💡 Tips & Strategies to Play Better
Here are some helpful strategies to increase your chances of winning:
⭐ 1. Keep Your Highest Tile in a Corner
Choose a corner (usually bottom-left or bottom-right) and always try to build your largest tile there.
⭐ 2. Avoid Moving Up (or Your Weak Direction)
Pick one direction to avoid unless absolutely necessary.
This prevents accidentally breaking your tile structure.
⭐ 3. Build Long Chains
Try to structure your numbers in descending order toward your corner.
This makes merges easier and cleaner.
⭐ 4. Think Ahead
Don’t swipe randomly — consider where the new tile might spawn and how the board will shift.
