The Snake playbook
Read the aim of Snake, then make your first move. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Read the objective before making your first input. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Try a more deliberate round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

One way to understand the rules
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Choose a deliberate next step.
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
