How to use this tool

How it works
Tiles slide to the edge in the chosen direction. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into one tile worth their sum. A new tile (2 or 4) appears after each move. The game ends when no moves remain. The hint button shows the best calculated move using a heuristic: it maximises empty cells and merge potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I play?

- What does the Hint button do?
- It calculates the move most likely to keep the most empty tiles and create the best merges, and shows an arrow indicator for 1.5 seconds.
- Is my score saved?
- Your personal best is saved in your browser's local storage. It persists across sessions on the same device.
- Do I have to stop at 2048?
- No — you can keep playing after reaching 2048 to chase a higher score.
