2048 Game — Swipe, Undo & Continue Beyond 2048

Combine equal tiles and keep space open

Slide and combine matching numbers on a classic 4×4 board. Play 2048 using arrows, WASD, swipe gestures or on-screen buttons, with undo, local saves and a best score on this device.

How to play

Start a game with two tiles. Press an arrow or WASD, swipe across the board, or tap a direction.
All tiles slide in that direction. Adjacent equal tiles merge once per move; their combined value is added to the score. A valid move adds one new tile.
Reach 2048 to win, then choose to keep playing. A full board ends the game only when no adjacent equal tiles can merge.

An example

Sliding [2, 2, 2, 2] left creates [4, 4, 0, 0], adding 8 points before a new tile appears. It does not create an 8 in the same move.

This is the classic 4×4 variant, not an AI solver or competitive leaderboard. New tiles are 2 (90%) or 4 (10%). Undo is practice assistance. Browser saves and best scores are local and can be cleared or edited; they are not verified rankings.

Frequently asked questions

Does a blocked move add another tile?

No. A new tile and move count are added only when at least one tile changes position or merges.

What happens after reaching 2048?

The board pauses at the milestone. Choose Keep playing to pursue larger tiles, or start a new game. Undo can revisit an earlier position.

Where is my progress saved?

Game progress and records stay in this browser, without cloud sync. Clearing browser data removes them. Accounts, comments and anonymous operation events still use normal site requests; boards and answers are not included.
