2048 Classic edition

Swipe to slide every square on the grid, and matching numbers fuse when they collide—two 8s become a 16. The aim is to keep merging until you reach 2048, but the game ends when no empty space remains. It runs in the browser on desktop or a portrait phone, with no installation needed.
