2048 is the go-to puzzle for anyone who enjoys a good number challenge. Your game board is a 4×4 grid where each swipe slides all tiles in that direction. If two tiles with the same number collide, they combine into a bigger tile—start with “2” blocks and work your way up to “1024” or “2048” squares if you plan your moves well. Keep in mind, every swipe spawns a fresh tile. Fill up the grid without being able to merge any pieces, and it’s game over. A bit of luck helps, but thinking ahead really pays off—chain merges can catapult you to higher numbers quickly. Whether you have a few minutes to spare or you’re up for a longer session, 2048 blends easy-to-grasp rules with a continuous challenge that keeps you sliding tiles for “just one more go.
