Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.

A useful example
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
