Slide and merge numbered tiles until you build one that reads 2048 — then keep going for a higher score.
Every merge adds the value of the new tile to your score — merging two 512s into a 1024 adds 1024 points in one move. There's no time limit, so your final score is however high you can climb before the board fills up and no move is possible.
Yes — 2048 is completely free and loads instantly in your browser. You can play right away as a guest; signing in is only needed to save your best score and appear on the leaderboard.
Two tiles with the same number merge into one when they slide into each other — 2+2 becomes 4, 4+4 becomes 8, and so on. Each merge adds the new tile's value to your score.
No. There's no clock — your run only ends when the board fills up and no merge is possible in any direction, so you can take as long as you want on each move.
The game doesn't stop — you can keep merging past 2048 for a higher score, which is what the daily leaderboard ranks.
Nobody on today’s board yet — one run and it’s yours. 👑
