How to Survive Longer in Snake

Growth removes turning room, so routes that work early can trap the snake against its own body later.

Play Snake

Decision plan

Set up the position

Plan turns one grid cell before reaching food.

Protect the next decision

Keep a circulation route open around the board edge.

Convert the opportunity

Do not reverse into the body when the snake becomes long.

A decision sequence in snake

  1. Use a repeatable circulation route around the open board.
  2. Approach food from a direction that leaves an exit after the snake grows.
  3. Before turning inward, verify that the return lane will still be open behind the tail.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Reversing toward the body after collecting food.
  • Following food into a wall-side pocket with no exit lane.
