Board #4 opens with a 2 on an edge 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 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 128 tile after 206 moves and finished with 1,952 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.
