If the game does not load, open it directly.
How to play Merge 2048
Swipe the board, or use the arrow keys, to move every tile in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile and add their values. A new tile appears after each move.
Keep the board open. The run ends when the grid is full and no move can merge or shift a tile. Reach the 2048 tile to win, then keep going if you want a higher score.
Tips for a quick run
- Pick one corner and keep your largest tile there.
- Build rows in one direction instead of clearing the middle.
- Leave a lane free for new tiles; a full edge is hard to recover.
