How to Play
- Pick a corner and keep your largest tile there.
- Swipe in only two or three directions to protect it.
- Build a descending row along that edge.
- Merge upward until 2048 appears.
Tips & Tricks
Never swipe in the direction that moves your corner tile. One such move undoes a board you spent five minutes building.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the goal number?
2048, reached by merging matched tiles upward from twos — though the board can be played on past it.
Why does the corner strategy work?
Because it keeps your largest tile immobile, which stops the board reshuffling around the piece everything else has to merge into.
