About Slide 2048 & how to play

A 60-second twist on 2048: tap matching neighbors to merge, and race the clock for bonus time.

This one reimagines the merge-the-numbers puzzle as a quick sprint. Instead of sliding the whole board, you tap two matching tiles sitting side by side to merge them into double the value. No neighbor to match? Slide a tile toward the gap to line one up. Hitting bigger tiles earns bonus time, so the better you combine, the longer you keep going.

Pip hosts it — a snappier, more tactical spin on a familiar favorite, all under the clock.

How to play Slide 2048

1. Tap two matching tiles that sit next to each other to merge them into double the value.
2. No adjacent match? Slide a tile toward the gap to set one up.
3. Keep merging to build bigger and bigger numbers.
4. Reaching 16 and beyond awards bonus time, stretching your run.
5. Score as high as you can before the 60-second clock runs out.

Tips & strategy

• Chain your merges — right after combining a pair, hunt for the next match to keep momentum.
• Prioritize merges that reach 16+; the bonus time they grant is what keeps a run alive.
• Don't let the board clog with orphan tiles — slide to set up matches before you're out of room.
• Grow one big tile rather than scattering progress all over the board.
• Move fast but deliberately. The clock rewards good combinations, not random taps.
