Snake Classic

How it works

Steer the snake with arrow keys or WASD. Eat the red food to grow one segment and score 10 points. The walls are lethal and so is your own tail — which gets longer with every meal. Each snack also nudges the game speed up slightly, so late-game Snake is a reflex test as much as a plan.

Strategy that survives past score 100

• Hug the walls early. Keeping your body along the edges preserves the open middle for food runs — the classic "perimeter strategy."
• Never turn into your own length. Past roughly 15 segments, every turn needs a one-second look at where your tail ends.
• Chase food the safe way: approach along a lane that leaves an escape route, not head-on into a wall pocket.

Best scores

The board is 15×15 cells; 100 points (ten apples) is a solid session, 300+ means your peripheral vision is elite. Best score persists in your browser. Press Start after every game over — the snake always comes back.
