Score to beat: 800
Trail #7 is built from corner hooks of three rocks: 44 rocks in 14 clumps, mirrored across both middle lines of the 18 × 24 board. That leaves 388 cells open, and 8 rows run from edge to edge without a single rock.
This is a Walls trail, so the border is solid. The snake starts at 8 cells per second and speeds up with every fruit, reaching about 8.9 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 22 seconds, scoring 800 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.
