You can try the practice material and ask here if you need help with any particular puzzle. I can't immediately think of any site with a tutorial. The general tip for snake is to visualize the rough path forced by the clues and then tweak the finer points. Its more of an intuitive type than a fully logical one. | ||||||||||||||||||

I haven't gone through 6-10 year learning curves (only been solving for 5 years in total), so maybe its just about solving more such puzzles. When I was starting out, I would avoid my weakest puzzle for multiple contests and it just stays a weakness. | ||||||||||||||||||

Posts: 45 Country : India | Swagatam posted @ 2015-12-22 7:55 PM Could anyone please suggest me how to start and proceed for 'Horse snake' and 'Summed snake'? In the given example of 'Horse snake' on IB I only can find the positions of the Knight capturing cells. Can't proceed after that. And, can the numbered cells be a part of a snake? | ||||||||||||||||||

Apply Snake rules; however multiple snakes are there in the grid. ? Head and tail of all snakes are given. ? Different snakes do not touch each other, even diagonally. >> | ||||||||||||||||||

Thanks! I had a bit of trouble getting started, and struggled with two or three puzzles (the large standard snake in particular; I had something very close to the solution quickly, but had to get there again slowly). Now to wait and see how much faster other solvers can go. | ||||||||||||||||||

Country : India | Administrator posted @ 2015-12-26 1:27 AM Grizix - 2015-12-26 1:20 AM Yes. (Note in Graffiti Snake, black cells refer to non-snake parts. The white cells refer to snake parts, so 2X2 squares of white cells are not allowed) In graffiti snake, can there be 2x2 squares of black cells ? | ||||||||||||||||||
