Tips for 2048







2048 is one of the most popular App games recently. It's very easy to play but the final goal is not so easy to achieve.

You can merge similar tiles by moving them in any of four directions to create new tiles with bigger numbers and a new tile with value of either 2 or 4 shows up automatically at a random empty position after each move. When you create a tile with a value of 2048, you win the game. However you might end it up with all stuck tiles.






When I was doing some research on this game, I found an interesting discussion about the artificial intelligence programs for 2048. There are more than one solution for this topic, and I just read them roughly.

If you have no interest in AI, here are some tips for you to achieve the goal by playing the game manually. Hope you guys can get the 2048 with my tips.

1. Choose one side of the grid and keep the whole line filled by using only 3 directions

   In some situations, you might be forced to move on the 4th direction, which you should avoid.

   Therefore you should think ahead before making next move to prevent from these situations.

2. Keep the biggest tile in the corner and make tiles in the line sorted

   Don't make a quick merge. You need to organize tiles to meet conditions as I mentioned.
