Frequently asked questions
How do I play without a mouse?
Click or tab to the board once, then use the arrow keys or W, A, S, D. On touch screens, swipe in the direction you want tiles to move.
Where is my best score stored?
In your browser's local storage only — it is never uploaded. Clearing site data resets it.
Is every new tile a 2?
90% are 2s and 10% are 4s, following the classic rules. Plan merges around the corners: keeping your largest tile in one corner is the standard strategy.
