Drag the queued block left or right. It snaps between the five column centers and highlights the current launch path.
Help for launching, merging, and keeping lanes alive.
2048 Block is a one-handed iPhone puzzle about launching blocks into five lanes, creating connected merges, and using earned power-ups at the right moment.
Playing 2048 Block
Tap the queued block, swipe upward, or tap the selected open lane to send the block into place.
Blocks match when the same value touches above, below, left, or right. Diagonal contact does not merge.
After each merge, spaces close and the board checks again. Good placement can turn one launch into several merge steps.
Undo, Swap, and Hit recharge through launches. They are earned by play, not bought with coins or purchases.
Your current board, queued block, selected lane, power-up meters, and undo history are saved locally.
Board, combos, and settings
These screens show the main flow: aim a block, build chains, survive crowded lanes, and use settings when you need a reset or support link.



What each power-up does
Power-ups recharge by playing successful moves. They do not use virtual currency, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
Available after 5 launched blocks. Restores a previous board decision when an undo snapshot exists.
Available after 10 launched blocks. Exchange two existing blocks, then let any new matches resolve.
Available after 20 launched blocks. Break one selected block and create a tactical gap for possible merges.
Use Settings to clear the current board and start from a fresh valid opening state.
Things to try first
The selected lane may be full or the board may still be resolving an animation. Choose another open lane or wait until movement completes.
Only orthogonal contact counts: above, below, left, or right. Diagonal blocks do not merge.
Undo recharges after 5 moves, Swap after 10, and Hit after 20. The icon fill shows recharge progress.
Progress is stored locally on device. If the app was deleted or device storage was cleared, the saved board may not be recoverable.
