This guide is mainly for people, who played this game but cannot achieve 2048.
I created it to show them, that it is possible and it is not random.
If you focus during your gameplay and use principles I show in this guide, without mistake, you will always win this game.

This guide is also made for people who can achieve 2048 but want to go higher.
In 4x4 mode can be achieved also 4096 with these principles.
If you use these principles in 8x8 mode, you can go even higer - and collect the most difficult achievements in a single gameplay.

There may be an other way to be a winner in this game. This is the one I came up with.

(And I apologize for not-so-good grammar and sentence order as I am not a native speaker of English)

I know you are familiar with controls. What can be more easier? You use only arrows.
The point is, if you want to win, you cannot use all of the controls. Maximum is 3. One is never to be used, otherwise you will be doomed .

The 2048 will be created in a corner.
First you have to decide, in which corner it will be created.

I like to create 2048 in the left bottom corner.
That is why controls I use are left, down, up. (never use right).

If you would like to create 2048 in a different corner, no problem, just adjust the controls according to it.

The way you put number together is crucial. It is connected to the controls you chose to use.

It is important you connect them this way. Becasue this way you just create a row of descending numbers, and if you do it right a very small number can create a big one, as they will be counted togehter.

Biggest mistake players make is that they are trying to connect numbers, that are not next to each other (as 32 in the picture).
If you try to connect them, firstly, you use "forbidden" arrow, and secondly, you will break your structure. This is why fourth arrow is not allowed. You have to learn another way to solve this.


You can create new 32 next to the one that is up there.


Or, in this case, easier will be to make an allowed "shortcut".
You can connect numbers the way shown in the picture, not to connect first and second column through first row, but through the second row. This is an allowed shortcut which can sometimes significantly help you.

Something like this can happen to you pretty often. You don't pay attention for 100% when you play, because you play quickly. Which is fine.
And, when you play too quickly, you sometimes press UP, when there is possibility for two numbers to connect, instead of DOWN. Then this happens, I call it "dead pixel".

It is not as bad as it looks. You just have to ignore this box for the rest of tha game. It is just dead pixel. Do not pay attention to it. You will have to create 2048 in the third box from the first column, that's all.
I use this place for "gargabe", which means, small numbers that are created but are in the way. Sometimes it is helpful, but for garbage only.


If you create a dead pixel too soon, that means, in the third box of the first column is quite a small number, you can still get rid of it. In this case, create a 32 and then connect 64 and 64. You can now continue and build 2048 in the bottom left corner.

I will add video gameplay soon. Thank you for patience.

These are the basics for the game. Good luck. :)

and remember:

PS: The achievement "Bug was here" can be achieved simply by clicking on the game logo.
