2048 is a sliding puzzle on a 4 by 4 grid: every move pushes all tiles in one direction, and two tiles with the same number merge into their sum. The games here use the same merge-the-numbers idea with twists - dropping blocks, shooting cubes, hexagons, fruit or larger boards.
What makes a good one?
A good 2048-style game is predictable - you can always see where a tile will end up - and rewards planning more than luck. An undo button, a best-score counter and smooth animations make long runs satisfying.
How to choose: beginners and experienced players
New to 2048? Use the classic trick: keep your biggest tile in one corner and avoid moving it out. Once that feels easy, try the variants with bigger targets or new shapes. Most are played with arrow keys or swipes.
