❓ FAQ
1 How do I play 2048?
Use arrow keys or swipe to move all tiles. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a larger number. The goal is to reach 2048 or higher!
2 When does the game end?
The game ends when the board is full and no moves are possible. In Speed mode, reaching the target number means victory.
3 What's the difference between Endless and Speed mode?
Endless mode has no win condition - play until you can't move. Speed mode requires reaching a target (Easy: 1024, Normal: 2048, Hard: 4096, Hell: 8192).
4 How do I get powerups?
Earn powerups by merging high-value tiles. Thresholds vary by difficulty: Easy 256+, Normal 512+, Hard 2048. Hell mode has no powerup rewards.
5 What do the Undo, Shuffle, and Smash powerups do?
