Merge 2048 – Slide & Merge Number Tiles
Slide the number tiles, merge equal pairs and build up to the 2048 tile — then keep going for a higher score. Free, with undo and smooth animation.
How to play
- 1
Swipe on the board, or press the arrow keys, to slide all tiles in one direction.
- 2
Two tiles with the same number merge into one tile with their sum, and you score that sum.
- 3
After every move a new 2 (sometimes a 4) appears in an empty cell.
- 4
Make a 2048 tile to win — then you may keep playing for a bigger score.
- 5
The game ends when the board is full and no tiles can merge. You can undo your last move once.
Tips
- Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build the row next to it in order.
- Use mainly two or three directions; avoid the move that pulls your big tile out of its corner.
- Do not chase every small merge — keep the board tidy so big tiles can meet.
- Save Undo for a real mistake, like a sudden 2 dropping into your corner.
About this game
Merge 2048 is a sliding tile puzzle on a 4×4 board. Each swipe moves every tile as far as it can go; when two tiles with the same number touch, they join into one tile with double the value. Starting from 2s and 4s, you keep merging — 8, 16, 32 and on — aiming for the 2048 tile.
The game needs planning more than speed: keeping the largest tile in a corner and building a neat chain beside it is the classic strategy. This version has smooth animations, a one-step undo, your best score saved on this device, and works with swipes on phones and arrow keys on computers.
Free to play · no sign-up · no ads · your best scores are saved only on this device.
