How is the 2048 leaderboard ranked?
It depends on the mode. The Level board ranks players by the highest level they reach, using score as a tiebreaker — climbing means reaching 1024, 2048, 4096 and beyond. The Hardcore board ranks players purely by their highest score.
What's the difference between the Level and Hardcore boards?
The Level board ranks the endless climb mode, where every level is a freshly generated board with a head start and a target tile that doubles each level. The Hardcore board ranks a separate score-attack mode — no target, no levels: most cells start filled with small numbers and you play for the highest score, with Easy, Medium and Hard difficulties adding immovable blocking tiles (0, 1 or 2) and multiplying your score ×1, ×2 or ×3.
