How to play 2048

Slide all the tiles one way. When two tiles with the same number meet, they join into one tile with their sum: 2 and 2 make 4, 4 and 4 make 8, and so on. Make a 2048 tile to win.

Every slide adds a new tile (a 2, or now and then a 4) on an empty square. The board fills up, so keep tiles that can join next to each other.
A tile joins only once in a slide: 2, 2, 2, 2 slid left makes 4, 4, not 8.
If nothing can slide the way you chose, nothing happens. Try another way.
The game ends when the board is full and no two neighbors match. Undo takes back as many moves as you like, and there is no time limit.
After 2048 you can keep going for a bigger tile; the score counts every join.

Use the arrow buttons under the board, the arrow keys, or swipe across the board on a touch screen. Hint suggests a direction. Choose a 4 by 4 (the classic), 5 by 5 or 6 by 6 board under More. A tip that helps most people: keep your biggest tile in a corner and build toward it.

Keyboard

Choose the board, then the arrow keys slide the tiles. H shows a hint, and Ctrl+Z undoes a move.
