An idea for your next attempt
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Reach a 2048 tile, then continue as long as a legal move remains. A full board with no adjacent equal tiles ends the round. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.
Start here and follow along
- Move the board using an arrow key, swipe, or a direction button.
- Equal adjacent tiles combine once per move; their new value is added to your score.
- Keep an empty lane where possible. Undo reverses the most recent move.
- Use New round to begin with two tiles.
Using the playing area
Use arrow keys, swipe across the board, or tap the four direction buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
Put the rules into context
Moving a row of 2, 2, 2, 0 to the left creates 4, 2, 0, 0 before a new tile appears. The newly merged 4 does not merge again in the same move. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
An important reminder
A swipe that leaves the board unchanged does not add a new tile. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
