2048 is a sliding tile puzzle: swipe to slide every tile on the board in one direction, and when two tiles with the same number collide they merge into one. Keep merging to build the 2048 tile before the board fills up. Play 2048 online for free right here, with undo and three board setups.
No ads. No sign-up. Just the game.
Pick a board setup — classic 4×4, a roomier 5×5, or the 4096 challenge.
Use the arrow keys (or swipe) to slide every tile in one direction.
When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a tile worth double.
A new tile (2 or 4) spawns after every move — plan ahead so the board doesn't clog.
Reach the target tile to win. If the board fills with no merges left, the game is over — undo and rethink.
Yes — completely free, with no ads and no sign-up. Open the page and play. There is no premium tier and nothing to unlock.
No. There is no registration and no login. The game runs entirely in your browser — pick a board and start sliding.
Merge tiles until you create the 2048 tile: slide the board so equal tiles collide and double. You can keep playing past 2048 to chase a higher score.
Keep your highest tile locked in one corner and build a descending chain next to it. Avoid moving in the direction that frees that corner, and never let small tiles scatter.
Easy is a roomy 5×5 grid with the classic 2048 target. Medium is the original 4×4 game. Hard keeps the 4×4 grid but pushes the target to 4096.
Yes — there's an undo button for the moments a swipe goes wrong. Your best score is saved in your browser between visits.
