Merge matching tiles to build larger numbers until you create the 2048 tile. After that you can keep playing to chase a higher score and bigger tiles such as 4096 and 8192. See our How to Play guide for a full walkthrough and strategy tips.
Yes. Once the game has loaded, it works without an internet connection, so you can play on a plane, on the train, or anywhere with no signal. An internet connection is only needed to load the game the first time and to show ads.
Your best score, coins, streak and settings are saved locally on the device you play on. Because the data is stored in your browser, clearing your browser data or switching to a different device will start you fresh.
The Daily Challenge is a special puzzle that is the same for every player on a given day. It refreshes every 24 hours and is a fun way to compare how you did against the same starting conditions as everyone else.
A streak counts how many days in a row you have played. Keeping a streak going earns bonus coins and is a simple way to build a daily habit. Miss a day and the streak resets.
Power‑ups — Undo, Shuffle and Remove — help you out of tight spots. You earn coins by playing and can spend them on power‑ups. Each power‑up is limited per game so it stays meaningful. Full details are in the How to Play guide.
Coins are the in‑game currency. You earn them by merging tiles, hitting milestones and keeping streaks, and you spend them on power‑ups, continues and cosmetic items such as board themes.
A game ends when the board is full and there are no matching tiles next to each other, so no swipe can change anything. Keeping the board as open as possible is the best way to avoid this — see our strategy tips.
No account is required. You can start playing immediately. The game does not ask for a login, email or password to play.
The game itself does not ask for personal information. Advertising partners may use cookies or device identifiers to show relevant ads. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
