Play Candy 2048 online
Candy 2048 is the classic sliding number puzzle with a sugary theme. Every tile is a sweet, and merging two of the same turns them into a bigger treat. Start with a single jelly bean and work your way up to the Candy Shop. It is free to play in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and it has zero calories.
Some of these sweets have surprising histories. Candy corn dates back to the 1880s in the United States. The machine for spun-sugar cotton candy was patented in 1897 by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton, and they sold it as Fairy Floss at the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis.
The 11 candy tiles
The ladder moves from tiny bites to the whole store. Jelly beans and gummy bears are the small, chewy start, followed by autumn candy corn. Then come a wrapped hard candy and a swirly lollipop. Honeycomb toffee adds crunch, cotton candy brings the fairground, and the candy apple has its glossy sugar shell. The chocolate bar is the classic, and a box of chocolates is the gift version. The 2048 tile is the Candy Shop, where every sweet on the board sits on the shelves together.

Slide every tile at once
Use your arrow keys ( ← ↑ ↓ → ) or W A S D to move the tiles.
All tiles slide as far as they can in that direction, and a new Jelly Bean tile appears after every move.
Play on your phone
On a phone or tablet, swipe anywhere on the board to move the tiles.
Your game is saved in your browser, so you can pick it up later on the same device.
Match two to unlock the next
When two tiles with the same picture touch, they merge into one.
Two Jelly Bean tiles make Gummy Bear, and every merge adds the new tile’s value to your score.
Reach the final tile
The goal is to build the 2048 tile: Candy Shop.
You can keep playing after you reach it and chase an even higher score.
2048Tips to win Candy 2048
- Keep your top tile in one corner like the shop counter. The Chocolate Box should sit right beside it, ready to merge with another into the Candy Shop.
- Build a falling row such as Chocolate Bar, Candy Apple, Cotton Candy, Honeycomb. When the smallest one merges, the rest can follow in a quick chain.
- Do not grab every merge you see. A merge in the middle can scatter your row, so favour moves that keep your big sweets lined up along one edge.
