See how the rules apply
When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Where a round can go wrong
The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Compare the situation with the worked example. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
