Question 1

How do you play 2048?

Accepted Answer

Use the arrow keys (or swipe on mobile) to slide all tiles in one direction. Tiles with the same number merge into one when they touch. After every move a new 2 or 4 tile appears in a random empty cell. Reach the 2048 tile to win.

Question 2

What is the best 2048 strategy?

Accepted Answer

Keep your highest tile in one corner and never move it. Build a chain in a snake pattern: alternate row direction per row. Avoid using the up arrow early so the bottom row stays full.

Question 3

Can I undo a move in 2048?

Accepted Answer

Yes — click the Undo button or press Z to take back your last move. You can also start a new game at any time with the New Game button.

Question 4

Is my best score saved?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your best score is saved in your browser's local storage so it persists across sessions on the same device. Clearing browser data will reset it.
