One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
The challenge in front of you
Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
The order of play
- Press Play to start the movement.
- Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
- Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
- Pause when needed or start a new round.
Your inputs
Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A closer look at one example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
