Board #24 starts the 5 × 5 grid with a 2 in a corner and a 2 on an edge. Build towards 4,096; this difficulty gives you 10 undos.
New tiles on Normal are a 4 with a chance of 10 %, otherwise a 2. With this board's seed 2 of the next 24 new tiles are 4s, as long as two or more cells are free when they appear; the first of them is the 2nd new tile.
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 1,024 tile after 1,376 moves and finished with 22,236 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.
