About Tegula 2048
A tile workshop fires its pieces two at a time: every pair that meets in the kiln comes out as one tile worth both. The workshop's rooms each hold a job, from a slate courtyard to a palace floor laid in gold.
Slide glazed tiles and join equal numbers up to 2048 and past it. Four board sizes, 80 goal puzzles in eight chapters and a daily board.
How to play Tegula 2048
Swipe, or press the arrow keys or WASD, and every tile slides as far as it can in that direction. Two tiles with the same number that meet join into one tile of their sum, and a new 2 or 4 lands on an empty cell after every move. Endless mode runs on a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 board until no move is left; you start with two undos and earn one more each time a run first makes a 512, 1024, 2048 and so on, up to five. Chapters are hand-built puzzles with a goal and a move limit: make a given tile, break every stone, free every frozen tile or reach a score. Each chapter adds one new piece: stones that crack when you merge next to them, star tiles that join any number and double it, gold rings that double the merge that lands on them, bombs that blow up a stone they are pushed into, frozen tiles that melt as you merge beside them, and boards with holes in the floor. The daily board gives everyone the same 4x4 board and the same new tiles: best score in 150 moves. Making a 1024 in Endless or solving 20 puzzles opens hard mode: no undo, a stone every 40 moves in Endless, and the par as the move limit in chapters.

Features
Two ways to play
Endless runs on a 3x3, 4x4, 5x5 or 6x6 board until no move is left, or work through 80 hand-built goal puzzles spread over 8 chapters.
A new piece every chapter
Each chapter adds one mechanic: cracking stones, doubling star tiles, gold rings, bombs, melting frozen tiles or a board with holes in the floor, never just a repaint.
Daily board
Everyone gets the same 4x4 board and the same new tiles for the day: the goal is the best score in 150 moves.
Hard mode
Unlocks after a 1024 in Endless or 20 solved puzzles: no undo, a stone drops every 40 moves in Endless, and chapters shrink their move limit to par.
Undo economy
Puzzle mode starts with 3 undos and Endless with 2, capped at 5; a run earns one more the first time it builds a 512, 1024, 2048 and so on.
Tips
- Pick one corner for your biggest tile and keep it there: slide mostly in two directions and use the third only when you have to.
- Keep the row next to your big tile filled and falling in value away from it, so each merge feeds the next one.
- Before you move, look at where the new tile can land: a move that leaves a single empty cell in the wrong place can lock a row.
- Stones crack from merges beside them, so plan merges next to a stone instead of steering tiles away from it.
- A gold ring doubles only the first merge that lands on it: save it for your largest pair, a 64 and a 64 on a ring make 256.
Frequently asked questions
How many levels does Tegula 2048 have?
80 goal puzzles across 8 chapters, plus an Endless mode on four board sizes that has no level cap.
Is Tegula 2048 hard, and what does hard mode change?
Hard mode unlocks after building a 1024 in Endless or solving 20 puzzles. It removes undo, drops a stone every 40 moves in Endless, and sets a chapter's move limit to its par instead of the normal cushion.
How do I beat a stuck chapter puzzle?
Check where the new tile can land before you move: leaving one empty cell in the wrong spot can lock a whole row, and a par time usually assumes you merge toward one corner rather than spreading tiles out.
Does Tegula 2048 save my progress?
Progress is saved locally on your device. You can move it to another device with a sync code; there is no account, ever.
Can I play Tegula 2048 on my phone?
Yes, the board and every mode work with swipes on a touchscreen; no keyboard is required.
Is there a daily challenge?
Yes, the daily board gives everyone the same 4x4 layout and the same new tiles, and the goal is the highest score in 150 moves.
