How to play Number Merge 2048

Objective: Slide numbered tiles together to merge matching pairs and build the biggest number you can.

  1. Use the arrow keys, WASD or a swipe to slide every tile in one direction.
  2. Two tiles with the same number merge into one tile of double the value.
  3. A new 2 or 4 appears after every move that changes the board.
  4. The run ends when the board is full and no merges remain.
  5. Undo steps back one move — you get a limited number per run.

Scoring

Each merge adds the value of the new tile to your score. Reaching the target tile awards a large bonus.

Difficulty levels

Easy uses a roomier 5x5 board and a 1024 target. Normal is the classic 4x4 board with a 2048 target and three undos. Hard is 4x4 with a 4096 target and no undos.

Tips

  • Pick one corner and never move the tiles out of it.
  • Keep your largest tile anchored and build a descending row next to it.
  • Avoid moving in the direction that would lift your big tile out of its corner.
