To get a 2048 game tile you need to combine two 1024 tiles. And to get a single 1024 tile, you need to get all of these:
2 + 2
4 + 4
8 + 8
16 + 16
32 + 32
64 + 64
128 + 128
256 + 256
512 + 512
If you break it down, you need to grow a lot of tiles, and once you get a 1024 tile, you have to do it all over again. It’s not easy, but you can use our 2048 strategy page for the best tips to help

The challenge of how to win 2048 game has nothing to do with math. Most people can recognize when two numbers look alike, and all you have to do is combine them. There’s not a whole lot of actual adding to do. The challenge is in positioning. You have to move your tiles around constantly so that you can get them to match, and when you move, all of your tiles move. This makes it pretty tricky to get things linked up exactly how you want. This isn’t your typical sliding puzzle where you can control the pieces individually. To make it even more complicated, when you move in one direction, all of the matching tiles will automatically combine. What does that mean?
Take this example: Your top row, from left to right, is a 2, 2, 4, and 4. You have a matching set of 2 and a matching set of 4. If you swipe left or right, the 2s and the 4s will combine, result in a 4 and an 8. This mechanic makes it even trickier to control your tiles, so you have to be extra cautious about the moves you make so you can maintain as much control as possible.
