2048 is a popular puzzle game where players slide numbered tiles on a grid to combine them and create a tile with the number 2048. Starting with two tiles, typically numbered 2 or 4, the player moves them in four directions—up, down, left, or right—combining tiles with the same number when they collide. With each move, a new tile appears randomly on the grid, typically with a value of 2. The goal is to reach the 2048 tile while strategically managing the limited space on the grid. It requires foresight, planning, and quick decision-making to achieve the highest score possible. As the game progresses, the grid fills up, making it increasingly challenging to create larger numbers and ultimately reach the elusive 2048 tile.
