Board #12 starts the 5 × 5 grid with a 2 on an edge and a 2 in the middle. Build towards 2,048; this difficulty gives you 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 512 tile after 844 moves and finished with 11,568 points. Any corner plan beats that, so take it as the first mark to pass.
How to approach it
The opening tiles sit on edges. Push them into the nearest shared corner in the first two moves and keep it as your home.
