Why it fits a quiet break
2048 is a quiet number puzzle with a single, readable decision on every turn. It suits a light-focus break because there is no opponent and no need to memorise a complicated control scheme. A good stopping point is simply after creating one larger tile or when the board starts to feel busy.
