Score to beat: 3,880
Board #1 opens with a 2 in a corner and a 2 in a corner on the 4 × 4 grid. The goal is the 1,024 tile, and you have unlimited undos.
New tiles on Easy are a 4 with a chance of 5 %, otherwise a 2. With this board's seed none of the next 24 new tiles is a 4, as long as two or more cells are free when they appear, so an early chain of 2s is easy to build.
Test run
Our test player is deliberately simple: it presses down whenever it can, then left, then right, and up only when stuck. On this board it reached the 256 tile after 331 moves and finished with 3,880 points. Any corner plan beats that, so take it as the first mark to pass.
How to approach it
One opening tile already sits in a corner. Make that corner your home and slide towards it from the first move.
