Hebi

You complete Hebi when all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.

How to play

You complete Hebi when all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.

  • Hebi opens from a versioned seeded position built for numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
  • Every Hebi action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: snakes connect only through permitted orthogonal neighbours, while unrelated snakes may not touch where the rules prohibit contact. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.
  • You complete Hebi when all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.

Strategy tips

  • A practical Hebi plan is to preserve several legal continuations around numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
  • A common Hebi error is to ignore the boundary rule that snakes connect only through permitted orthogonal neighbours, while unrelated snakes may not touch where the rules prohibit contact. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
  • Near the end of Hebi, recount the remaining obligations needed until all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.

Rules, scoring, and strategy

Hebi uses the independently implemented Nikoli Hebi rules v1 profile (R471). Hebi is a complete deterministic browser game whose distinct rules centre on numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally.

Setup and opening position

Hebi opens from a versioned seeded position built for numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.

Legal moves and game flow

Every Hebi action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: snakes connect only through permitted orthogonal neighbours, while unrelated snakes may not touch where the rules prohibit contact. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Winning and terminal positions

You complete Hebi when all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim. Near the end of Hebi, recount the remaining obligations needed until all clues see the required snake information and every placed segment belongs to one correctly ordered snake. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.

Practical strategy

A practical Hebi plan is to preserve several legal continuations around numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing. A common Hebi error is to ignore the boundary rule that snakes connect only through permitted orthogonal neighbours, while unrelated snakes may not touch where the rules prohibit contact. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.

Questions players ask

What makes Hebi a separate game?

Hebi has its own runtime and save identity because its rules require numbered snake segments placed along clue rays so each snake has an ordered head-to-tail structure and snakes do not touch illegally.

Which Hebi edge rule matters most?

snakes connect only through permitted orthogonal neighbours, while unrelated snakes may not touch where the rules prohibit contact.

Can a Hebi position be reproduced?

Hebi stores its game ID, rules version, and seeded deal identity. Those values recreate the same opening locally without promising that the position is forced or winnable.
