    Update 07/02/2017:
    Thanks SashaMorning for pointing out the security message when clicking on the screenshot links. I pasted the links in the solution, but somehow TA seems to interpret them as HTTPS links, when it should be HTTP. I have no idea on how to insert regular HTTP links... Links are fine though, no security risk :)

    Hey guys,

    While EngineerJared's solution works, it requires a fair bit of knowledge of Linux or programming in general. (unfair that he got so many negative votes btw, there's nothing wrong with his solution)

    However, there are Windows solutions out there. Granted, even those require a bit of programming skills to compile or even get to work. There is for example Threesus, one of the best solvers, but even that requires a manual input from users through a command prompt, which (yes, I tried) isn't very user friendly, which you can see here:

    However, someone (all credits at the bottom of this post) made a visual interface for this AI, which is a whole lot better. I made some small tweaks to it, compiled it, and tested it out.

    Here's some screenshots of the program in action:

    Just a few pointers/tips:
    - While a visual interface is still a lot better than manual input in Command Prompt, it still requires A LOT of attention and focus. Give the solver a couple of quick tries first, to get a hang of the look 'n feel.
    - Please don't expect this solver to get you the 6144 achievement on your first go! The statistical chance that you get a 6144 card is still only 5%.


    You can find the solver here:

    Download, unzip, run! smile


    Please note, I take no credit for this program whatsoever! Threesus ai has been created by Walt Destler and the GUI around the AI has been created tomkidd. I merely made some adjustments...

    I want to extend a huge thanks to SashaMorning and Har Miggido for beta testing my compiled program. Fyi: SashaMorning was able to get the Volleo achievement with this solver!

    Any feedback is of course very much welcome. Please let me know what I can change. I'm not saying I will make modifications to the solver, but if I find time, I'll be sure to take your feedback and implement it.

    Last note: if you give a negative vote, please tell me why. I took A LOT of time to compile a visual solution for you guys, and the testers took a lot of time to test it out. The least you can do is tell me why you give me a negative vote ;)

    Enjoy!

    I've been holding back on posting this solution because it is definitely not user friendly. However, if you want the best solver it is the one by nneonneo, no question. It's much MUCH faster than the rianhunter solver and it got me to Whalend on the very first run. It probably would have got the 6144 but I got impatient and ignored the solver (it wasn't making the 3072 match ha). I haven't had the patience to give it another run yet. There is no easy way to run this solver though if you don't at least have some basic Linux experience. The repo is here:

    Good luck.

    zzUrbanSpacemanEven one of the best solvers out there (Threesus) only gets 6144 5% of the time, it's to be expected that this solver will take a number of tries before it gets there.

    JappeHow the hell do you manage to complete a game in two hours? It took me 6 hours to finish one game and it failed with a 3000 and 1500 tiles. Just a "bit" frustrating. Do you play the start yourself and then just try to finish the game with the solver?

    planting42I play using the Xbox App so I can stream the console on my PC. I then have the App snapped to one side and Threesus on the other. I work with one hand on mouse and one hand on a controller. It takes a bit to get used to and requires Windows 10 (for Streaming)
