About 2048 game

Tips to win 2048

  1. Always keep the largest number in one corner of the grid and fill up one row, using only 3 out of the 4 arrow keys to merge the tiles towards the corner with the largest number. For example, if you pin the largest number in the top left/right corner, do not use the down arrow.
  2. Try to minimize the appearance of new tiles as much as possible. New tiles typically have very small values, which wastes your time in merging them to form larger values.
  3. Prioritize solving small tiles that are trapped between larger tiles. Small tiles trapped between larger tiles are a situation 2048 players always dread. However, if you find yourself in this situation you should prioritize spending time untangling this knot first.
