2048 is a relaxing but highly addictive number puzzle where you slide tiles around a grid to combine matching values. Every move pushes the entire board, so you need to plan ahead and avoid trapping yourself. Simple rules make it easy to learn, but reaching the 2048 tile—and going beyond—is much harder than it appears at first. Because each game only takes a few minutes, it’s perfect for short breaks, but the desire to beat your previous best score can keep you playing for much longer than expected.
