2048

2048 is a timeless sliding tile puzzle game created by Gabriele Cirulli in 2014. Played on a 4x4 grid, the goal is simple yet challenging: slide and merge numbered tiles until you reach the 2048 tile. With every move, tiles slide in the chosen direction, and matching numbers combine to form higher values. The game starts with tiles marked “2” or “4,” but with smart moves, you’ll quickly create 16, 128, and beyond.

What makes 2048 so addictive is its mix of logic and chance. Each move requires careful planning to prevent the board from filling up too soon. The more tiles you merge, the higher your score climbs, with glowing high-value tiles marking your progress. Even after reaching the famous 2048 tile, you can keep going—some players have pushed the limits all the way to 131,072.

As an unblocked HTML5 game, 2048 runs smoothly on any Chromebook or browser, no downloads needed. Its minimalist design, mobile compatibility, and endless replay value make it a perfect choice for short, distraction-free study breaks on Games76EZ.
