Merge Blocks 2048
The classic four-by-four grid, played straight.
Swipe to slide numbered tiles on a 4×4 grid. Match two identical blocks to merge them into a bigger number. Start from 2 and work your way up to 2048 and beyond. The board fills up with every move so plan ahead. Chain multiple merges in a row to build combos and earn bonus coins. Spend coins in the shop on power-ups like Undo, Extra Life, Score Boost, Shuffle and Head Start. Beat your high score and try to reach the highest tile possible. Easy to learn, hard to master.
Controls

How to Play
- Choose a corner to anchor your largest tile.
- Slide in a restricted set of directions.
- Keep matching tiles adjacent before merging.
- Build towards the highest number you can.
Tips & Tricks
Keep your second-largest tile next to your largest. A big tile with no partner is dead weight on a four-by-four board.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this add anything to the classic rules?
No, and that is its value — it is the plain version, which is the best place to practise the corner method.
How large is the grid?
Four by four, the original size, which is what makes space management so unforgiving.
