2048 Plus Challenge Edition Strategy & Tips
Tip #1: Remember the Corner Method
- This is a common strategy for winning 2048. Just try to keep your highest tile in one corner, rather than out in the middle of the board. This will give you more room to work with and more ability to combine tiles effectively.
- Even with all of the changes you'll see in the ensuing levels, this method is still the best. You can get (and protect) high-valued tiles much more easily this way.

Tip #2: Remember the Objective
- Unlike normal 2048, your objective will change from level to level. Sometimes you'll have to get a specific tile, but you might just have to get a certain amount of points.
- Points are much harder to rack up in 2048 Plus Challenge Edition than in original 2048. If you have a point minimum and a turn cap, make sure you combine tiles as quickly as possible. Corner method!
Tip #3: Work Around Stone Blocks
- Stone blocks are the first obstacles you'll find in 2048 Plus Challenge Edition. Strategy for these is pretty simple. Keep them as far away from your high-value tiles as you can.
- Having stone blocks next to tiles limits the number of other tiles that can be adjacent. Pile up stones in a corner so they don't block anything important.

Tip #4: Use Stars Wisely
- Stars are another new addition to 2048. But these blocks are definitely not obstacles. Stars can be matched with any tile, doubling its value instantly.
- You can use a star to double the value of your best tile. Our player in the screenshot above can make his 16 tile into a 32, which is a great 2048 Plus Challenge Edition strategy.
- Stars will combine with the first tile they run up against. Make sure you use them on the highest possible tile.
Tip #5: Beware the Division Tiles
- Division tiles are like the opposite of stars. When combined with a tile, they'll divide its value in half. The only tiles they can't combine with are 2s.
- Keep these monsters away from your high-value tiles! They can ruin a game in one move. Take each turn slowly if you know there will be division tiles on the board.
