Number puzzle. Merge tiles. Hit 4096. 4096 takes the classic 2048 formula and pushes it further. Swipe. Combine. Watch numbers explode into bigger ones. It's brain training disguised as addiction.

How to Play 4096

The Goal: Create a tile worth 4096. Start with small numbers. Merge identical tiles. Double their value. Keep going until the board screams for mercy or you hit the magic number. No moves left? Game over.

Swipe and Merge

Swipe in any direction. All tiles slide that way. When two identical numbers collide, they fuse. 2 + 2 = 4. 4 + 4 = 8. The math is brutal and beautiful. After every swipe, a fresh tile spawns. Board fills fast. Think ahead or die trying.

The Grind Gets Real

Early game? Easy. Stack small numbers. Mid-game? Board gets crowded. Late game? Every cell matters. Plan merge chains. Don't trap your high-value tiles in corners. Keep the 4x4 board breathing. One bad swipe ends your run.

Strategic Tips

Pick a corner. Build your highest tile there. Never move it. Stack smaller tiles around it. Create cascading merges. Use one direction less frequently to maintain control. The board punishes random swipes. Respect the grid or restart from zero.
