Board #34 opens with a 2 in the middle and a 2 in a corner on the 4 × 4 grid. The goal is the 4,096 tile, and you have 3 undos.
New tiles on Hard are a 4 with a chance of 20 %, otherwise a 2. With this board's seed exactly one of the next 24 new tiles is a 4 (as long as two or more cells are free when they appear): the 22nd one.
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 128 tile after 131 moves and finished with 1,300 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.
