Score to beat: 836
On board #8 the first two tiles are a 2 in the middle and a 2 on an edge. The grid is 4 × 4, the goal tile is 1,024 and the undo allowance is unlimited undos.
New tiles on Easy are a 4 with a chance of 5 %, 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 23rd 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 64 tile after 110 moves and finished with 836 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.
