FAQ
Common questions
- Can I resize the small grid snake board?
- Not on this page — the 12×12 lock is the point. Want more floor → large-grid-snake; want the default 20 → play-snake.
- Is a small grid the same as Hard Pace?
- Different lever. Small grid shrinks space; Pace changes the clock. You can still raise Pace on this tight board if you want both.
- Do I need an account for small grid snake?
- No account. One tab, one 12×12 coil, Best on this device.
- Why is the board 12×12?
- Tight enough to bully muscle memory, still readable on a phone. Smaller than the standard 20 without becoming unreadable dots.
