2048

NumberFeatured

Swipe, merge, double — until you can't.

2048 is a sliding-tile puzzle on a 4×4 grid. Tiles with the same number merge when they collide, doubling in value. The goal is to reach the 2048 tile — and, for the brave, far beyond. Created by Gabriele Cirulli in 2014, it became one of the most-cloned web games of the decade.

2584 (Fibonacci)

Same board, same swipes — but tiles merge only when their values are consecutive Fibonacci numbers. A re-tuning that forces a completely different strategy.
