🎮 How to play 2048

You start a game of 2048 with two tiles on the grid, usually valued 2 or 4. You use the arrow keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) to slide all tiles on the board in one direction. When two tiles with the same number collide during a slide, they merge into a new tile with their combined value (e.g., two 4 tiles become one 8 tile). After every successful move, a new tile (a 2 or 4) appears in a random empty spot on the board. The game continues as you try to build higher and higher numbers: 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and finally 2048. You win the game if you successfully create the 2048 tile. You lose the game if the board fills up with tiles in such a way that you can no longer make any legal moves (i.e., no adjacent tiles have the same number, and there are no empty spaces).

💡 Tips and Tricks for 2048

The most famous and effective strategy is the Corner Strategy. Pick one corner of the grid (e.g., the bottom-left). Your goal is to always keep your highest-value tile in that corner. To do this, you must try to lock it in place. If your corner is bottom-left, you would try to fill the entire bottom row with your highest numbers, sorted from highest (in the corner) to lowest. This means you should never press the Up arrow key, as that would move your high-value tiles out of the bottom row. You would primarily use Left, Right, and Down to combine tiles. This method keeps your high-value tiles safe and organizes the board, making it much easier to build up. This game is all about order, unlike the chaos of Dark Runner. Always try to merge smaller tiles before they clutter up the board. Think one or two moves ahead. Before you press a key, visualize where the new 2 or 4 tile might spawn and how it will affect your board.

• Pick a corner and stick to it. Do not change your strategy mid-game.
• Try to keep your high-value tiles chained together. (e.g., 128 next to 64 next to 32).
• Avoid letting a low-value tile (like a 2) get trapped between your high-value tiles.
• Be very careful with your forbidden move (e.g., Up if you use the bottom-left corner).
