Score to beat: 1,000
On trail #12 the board holds a long wall with gaps and loose stones, 40 rocks in total and 24 clumps. The pattern is the same in all four quarters; 10 rows of the board are untouched and 392 cells stay open.
This is a No walls trail: leave the board on one side and you come back on the other, so the border is a shortcut rather than a danger. The snake starts at 8.5 cells per second and reaches about 9.4 by the 10th fruit.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 14 seconds, scoring 1,000 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
The long wall splits the board. Learn where its gaps are before the snake gets long, and cross through the gap nearest to the fruit.
