2048 is a highly addictive single-player puzzle game where the goal is to slide numbered tiles on a 4x4 grid to combine them and create the elusive 2048 tile. Players move tiles in four directions—up, down, left, and right—merging identical numbers when they collide. Each move spawns a new tile (either a 2 or 4), adding challenge as the board fills up. Strategy is key to prevent gridlock while maximizing merges. The game ends when no more moves are possible, though skilled players can surpass 2048 and aim for higher scores. With its simple mechanics and engaging gameplay, 2048 tests logical thinking and patience, making it a timeless favorite among puzzle enthusiasts.
