4. Every valid move creates a new 2 or 4 in an empty cell.
5. Reach 4096 to win, then keep playing for a higher score.

Tips for reaching 4096

• Keep your biggest tile in one corner and build toward it.
• Favour two directions (for example left and down) and use the others sparingly.
• Keep a row full so big tiles don't drift out of their corner.
• Use undo for a genuine mistake — it only goes back one move.
