The highest score stays in this browser. There is no ranking. The link restarts that board from the first tiles and does not keep the current score. Today’s board uses this device’s date.

Why this exists

One round can last minutes or a long sitting. After 2048 the board stays open until it sticks.

This is not a reaction test. It is 2048: slide equal numbers on a 4×4 board.

  1. 01How to use it

    Pick a direction with the arrow keys, a swipe, or the buttons below.

    Undo cancels the last move. New opens a different first pair of tiles.

  2. 02What you get

    The large number is the score. Before the first move it is a dash, then it rises from 0.

    When 2048 appears, that tile stays, and the board can continue toward a larger tile.

  3. 03Worth knowing

    Today’s board follows this device’s date. It does not follow another country’s holidays.

    The link keeps only the seed. The current tiles and the score are not in it.

How this page works it out

The 2048 game is a 4×4 board. Equal numbers double when you slide them one way, and a tile merges once per move. After a move a 2 appears, and one in ten new tiles is a 4.

Reaching 2048 does not close the board. You can keep going toward a larger tile until no move remains. Undo cancels the last move.

The highest score stays in this browser. There is no ranking. Today’s board follows this device’s date, and the link restarts that board from the first tiles.
