  1. Read the meaning; the letters on the board are the letters of the word it describes, plus a few extra ones.
  2. Steer the snake with the arrow keys, W A S D or the direction buttons and eat the word's letters in order; each right letter makes it longer.
  3. A letter out of turn or not in the word counts as wrong; the round ends after three. Bumping into a wall or itself only stops the snake.
  4. The snake moves slowly by itself; with Pause or Step by step it moves one cell per press.
