Quick Reference

Arrow keys or WASD to swipe tiles. When two tiles of the same value collide, they merge into one and you earn points equal to the new tile's value.
Keep your highest tile anchored in a corner and build descending values along the edges - this is the foundation of every high-score strategy.
Your score compounds exponentially: every merge past 2048 is worth more than all previous merges combined. Never stop at the 2048 tile.
Your rank is calculated from rank points earned across all difficulty categories. Points increase with strong scores and decrease after poor games.
