About Games Like 2048
2048 is the puzzle that made sliding tiles addictive: swipe the grid, merge matching numbers and try to build one huge tile before the board fills up. If you have spent hours chasing the 2048 tile and want something with the same feel but a new challenge, the games on this page are for you.
The first pick is Merge Minute, which keeps the classic rules on a 4×4 grid and mounts it on the face of a giant clock. You start with a full minute, and every merge winds the clock half a second, so the relaxed, think-as-long-as-you-like pace of 2048 becomes a fast, flowing race. Keep your big tiles in a corner, merge the tiles that carry time crystals before they fade for three extra seconds, steer the gold ×2 tile into your biggest tile to double it, and chase the milestone bonuses from the first 64 all the way to 2,048.
Our other number games are listed here too. Sudoku Sprint swaps sliding for pure logic: three 6×6 mini sudokus against one clock, a change of pace for when you want numbers without the merging. As more merge games arrive, the best of them will join the list. All of them run free in your browser, play by touch, mouse or keyboard, and have leaderboards where top scores are verified by replaying them on our servers.
