What the game asks you to do
Reach a 2048 tile, then continue as long as a legal move remains. A full board with no adjacent equal tiles ends the round. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
How a round unfolds
- Move the board using an arrow key, swipe, or a direction button.
- Equal adjacent tiles combine once per move; their new value is added to your score.
- Keep an empty lane where possible. Undo reverses the most recent move.
- Use New round to begin with two tiles.
Getting comfortable with the controls
Use arrow keys, swipe across the board, or tap the four direction buttons. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See the idea in action
Moving a row of 2, 2, 2, 0 to the left creates 4, 2, 0, 0 before a new tile appears. The newly merged 4 does not merge again in the same move. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Pay attention to this rule
A swipe that leaves the board unchanged does not add a new tile. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
