2048 Legend

Slide the tiles, merge matching numbers and chase the highest score you can.

About 2048 Legend

2048 Legend is the number puzzle that took the world by storm. You slide tiles around a grid, and when two tiles with the same number touch, they add up into one. It sounds easy, and it can prove to be quite a challenge.

The catch is that all the tiles move at the same time, so every swipe changes the whole board. The original 2048 was created by Gabriele Cirulli in 2014, and the idea has been loved ever since because a single game can last just a minute or much longer.

How to play

  1. Move the tiles left, right, up or down.
  2. All the tiles slide in that direction at the same time.
  3. When two tiles with the same number touch, they add up.
  4. Keep merging for the highest score. The game ends when you run out of moves.

These are the usual rules. If the game shows you something different on screen, follow the game.

Tips

  • Keep your highest tile in one corner, and try not to move it.
  • Use mainly two directions, such as left and down, and avoid the opposite ones when you can.
  • Build a chain of tiles along one edge, with values that step down in order.
  • Think before you swipe. Small numbers scattered across the board are what end most games.
