About Slither.io
You enter the arena as a tiny snake. Every glowing orb you swallow makes you longer and widens the space you command on screen.
There is one rule: if your head touches another snake's body, you die. Size doesn't change that; even the largest snake can pop against the smallest one on a careless turn.
When a rival dies their body turns into a trail of orbs. So real growth comes less from grazing than from cutting someone off and harvesting what they leave behind.
Why kids like this game
The rule is one sentence and it plays from the first second. A tiny snake being able to take down a giant keeps it open to everyone.
Is this game safe for kids?
Yes. Dying just means turning into orbs; no blood and nothing uncomfortable. It runs in the browser.

๐ก Tips & Tricks
- Start at the edge: the middle is crowded and tight, so earn your first length safely on the outer ring.
- Don't waste boost: boosting eats your own length, so save it for the moment you cut someone off.
- Draw a ring: once you're big, circling a rival in a tightening loop leaves them no way out.
- Rush a fresh kill: the trail a popped snake leaves behind hands you a lot of length in one pass.
- Slow down when huge: a long snake turns wider, so take big arcs to avoid clipping your own tail.
