Guide a constantly moving snake around a walled grid, swallowing food pellets that make its tail grow longer with every bite. The board never gets bigger, so each meal tightens the space you have to maneuver. One collision with a wall or your own body ends the run.

How to play Snake

  1. Steer the snake toward the food pellet that appears on the grid
  2. Eat the pellet to grow longer and add points
  3. Avoid running into the outer walls
  4. Never cross over your own tail as it lengthens
  5. Keep eating to push your score as high as you can

Tips & strategy

  • Hug the edges early to keep the open center free for later
  • Plan turns a few cells ahead instead of reacting at the last moment
  • Leave yourself an escape lane before the tail gets unwieldy
