There is a bit of a trick... Once known... Seems to make it easier. I found two distinct methods when put together provide high results every time. It still is challenging... But with a little framework, it is easier. Should I share?

Only move in three directions the entire game when possible. (Preferable up-left-right, but concept is the same.)

On the single direction side (e.g top), always try to keep the biggest number in the corner (e.g top left) and fill upward from the other corner. To do this if the top left is a 512... Then a 128... Then a 64... Then a blank. Try not to shift right. It could drop a 2 in the top left corner breaking the rule. That would require you to get the 2 up to a 512 to continue the pattern.

I will post a picture of the process.

Follow along... Only shifting up/left/right.

I should note... Sometimes you will have to shift the top row right. In most cases that won't affect you and you can move back left to move the biggest number back in the corner. When a low number gets dropped into the top left, most of the time you can recover. Just keep moving only left right up. Moving down is really bad. It is almost unrecoverable in most cases.

The last two above I missed a screenshot. Basically moved up once... A two was luckily dropped in the right column... Moved that up.

Once the top row is locked up... You can move left AND right, but never down.

If you move down. Move back up right away and conduct damage control.

Beta's strategy is good :) previously I was doing something similar, stuffing values into corners, but I would switch corners opportunistically. This would end up leaving my higher blocks spread out. With Betas approach the high blocks stay close. I still break the banned direction rule opportunistically, but only if it has a big benefit.

I got impatient at the end of this game and any a little crazy. I probably could have run it up when higher.
