Question 1

Is 2048 free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The daily board and Endless are free, with no account and nothing to download.

Question 2

Is the daily board the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Everyone starts with the same two tiles, and each new tile depends only on the day and how many moves have been made, so the same moves give everyone the same board. That makes the scores fair to compare.

Question 3

What is the score to beat?

Accepted Answer

It's what our own simple computer player scores on today's board, rounded down to the hundred. It plays steadily but not cleverly, so a careful player can beat it.

Question 4

Can I undo a move?

Accepted Answer

Once per game. In the daily it's free once a day; in Endless it's free while Suvi is new. An undo can't change which tile comes next: making the same move again brings the same tile.

Question 5

What happens after I make 2048?

Accepted Answer

You get a small celebration and a choice: finish there, or keep going for 4096 and beyond. Your score keeps counting either way.

Question 6

Can I play it on a computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It works with the arrow keys or W, A, S and D, and with the mouse, as well as by touch on a phone or tablet.
