2048 Game: Play Online for Free
2048 is a fun puzzle game for all ages. If you're a fan of our Solitaire and FreeCell card games or other puzzle games, you'll love 2048. The goal is to merge tiles until you get to the 2048th tile. Once you've hit the 2048th tile, you've won!
When two tiles with the same value bump into each other, they merge. To move the tiles on the 4x4 grid, tap the arrow keys or W, A, S, and D keys on your keyboard. If you're playing on mobile, swipe on the board in the direction you want the tiles to move.
If you're still in doubt about the gameplay, look through our guide on how to play 2048. If you want to get better at winning, we've also written a guide on how to win 2048.
2048 is a great brain teaser that can be played solo, but if you're looking to be challenged by others, we highly recommend games such as Hearts and Spades.
We continuously update the game, so feel free to reach out at contact@2048-online.io if you've found a bug or have any feedback. The game was last updated on .

Questions and answers
Do you have a download?
We're working on creating native versions of the game. So before long, you should be able to download the game for iOS, Android, Mac and Windows. We're also working on browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Who made the game?
The game was initially by Gabrielle Cirulli, who took inspiration from the game 1024 by Veewo Studio. The game was released in 2014 and became an instant hit. Its online availability and addictive nature made it a favorite pastime.
How does scoring work?
Scoring works by adding up the numbers in the merged tiles. So if you combine two tiles with a value of 4, there'll be 8 points added to your score. Let's look at some examples below:
- 2x2 tiles = 2 points
- 2x4 tiles + 2x2 tiles = 12 points
- 32x2 tiles = 64 points
- 16x2 + 4x2 + 2x2 = 44 points
What is the highest score in 2048?
Theoretically, the highest score is 131.072, though no one has ever gotten to that score alone. The theoretical possibility was discovered by Todd W. Neller of Gettysburg College in his paper on the Pedagogical Possibilities for the 2048 Puzzle Game.
