About Classic 2048
2048 is the original open-source sliding block puzzle created by Gabriele Cirulli. The game is played on a 4×4 grid; each tile displays a power of 2. Use arrow keys or swipe to move all tiles in one direction. When two tiles with the same number touch, they merge into one tile with double the value.
How to Play
Keep your highest tile in a corner (e.g. bottom-right) and build chains in descending order next to it. Avoid swiping in the direction that would move your highest tile out of the corner. Plan ahead to create larger numbers and clear the board.
