2048 Game Guide

📖 About

2048 is the incredibly addictive sliding tile puzzle that became an internet sensation! Slide numbered tiles in any direction on a 4×4 grid. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one with their sum. Starting from 2s and 4s, watch your tiles grow exponentially as you strategize to create the elusive 2048 tile. Simple to learn yet nearly impossible to master, this game will keep you coming back for just one more try!

🎯 Objectives

Combine matching numbered tiles by sliding them together to create increasingly larger numbers. Your ultimate goal is to create a tile with the number 2048, but the game continues even after you achieve this milestone. How high can you go?

🎮 How to Play

Use arrow keys or swipe to slide all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one. Each move spawns a new tile (2 or 4). Try to reach the 2048 tile!

⌨️ Controls
