About 2048
Slide the whole forge at once. Equal embers fuse into brighter forms, from coal and flame to beacon, starfire and the Phoenix at 2048.
The familiar four-by-four puzzle keeps its exact classic rules, wrapped in an artisan's firelit workshop with carved sigils, physical impacts and a personal best that stays in this browser.
How to play
- Goal
- Slide and fuse equal tiles to forge the 2048 Phoenix.
- How it ends
- Reaching 2048 wins; you may play on. The forge is over when no slide can move a tile.
- Record
- Your best score stays on this device; completed, uninterrupted forges can enter the Top 10.
- Slide every tile up, down, left or right. All tiles move together.
- Two equal values that meet fuse once during that move. Each accepted move raises one new ember.
- Reach 2048 to forge the Phoenix, then keep going or begin a new forge.

Gabriele Cirulli’s original 2048 credits Veewo Studio’s 1024 as its basis and Asher Vollmer’s Threes as a related idea. The familiar sliding-number game grew out of other small number puzzles.
