Score to beat: 1,200
The rocks on trail #14 are corner hooks of three rocks. You will meet 40 rocks grouped into 16 clumps, laid out symmetrically, with 392 cells still free and 8 rows completely clear.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 9 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 9.9 cells per second by the 10th fruit that clears the stage.
Test run
In our test run, a simple path-finding player cleared this trail in 11 seconds, scoring 1,200 points. It plays safe rather than fast, so a confident human can beat that time.
How to approach it
Corner hooks are the trap here: a fruit inside the crook of a hook needs a planned exit. Enter along the open side and turn out immediately.
