How to Play 2048 Puzzle Game

Playing the 2048 game involves combining numbered tiles within a 4x4 grid to reach the tile with the number 2048.

• Starting the Game: When you begin, you'll see a 4x4 grid. Initially, two tiles with either the number 2 or 4 will appear on the grid at random positions.
• Moving Tiles: Navigate the tiles vertically or horizontally across the grid by using your keyboard's arrow keys or swiping on your touchscreen device. With each move, the tiles will shift to the utmost extent in the selected direction until they encounter the perimeter of the grid or another tile.
• Combining Tiles: When two tiles bearing identical numbers come into contact during movement, they unite to form a single tile, whose value is the cumulative total of the two merging tiles. Following each action, a new tile, marked with either a 2 or 4, spontaneously materializes in an unoccupied space on the grid.
• Winning the Game: When you successfully combine tiles to form one that displays the number 2048 the victory is achieved. However, you can continue to play beyond this point to achieve higher numbers and score.

The game is finished when the grid is completely filled and no adjacent tiles can be combined.
