🧠 Why 2048 Is Good for Your Brain

2048 is more than a casual puzzle — it's a workout for your working memory and planning skills. To reach 2048, you must track multiple tiles, anticipate merges, and avoid blocking your board. Studies suggest that number puzzles like 2048 can improve focus, patience, and logical reasoning.

🏆 Scoring and High Scores

Your score increases every time two tiles merge. Larger merges give more points, so combining two 128 tiles gives much more than combining two 2 tiles. Aim for the biggest possible merges to climb the leaderboard. Your best score is saved automatically so you can always try to beat it.
