How to Play
Swipe or use arrow keys to slide all tiles in a direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one with their sum—keep merging to reach the 2048 tile.
Tips for Playing
- Keep your highest tile in a corner to maintain control of the board.
- Build merges in a single direction, like down or right, to avoid clutter.
- Avoid swiping randomly—always think two moves ahead to prevent dead ends.
