Trapping Opponents: One of the most popular and fun strategies in Slither io is to wrap around smaller snakes so that they get stuck and stab you. They will then die and you can eat the food pellets they leave behind to grow larger.

Smart Boost: The boost feature allows you to move faster, useful for cutting opponents or escaping dangerous situations. However, boosting will cause your snake to lose mass (get smaller), so you have to use it wisely and strategically.

Eat dropped food: Food pellets left by other dead snakes are larger and provide more mass than the small food pellets scattered around the map, creating a tense "fight" for loot.

Use size to your advantage: As your snake gets larger, you can swing wider to trap more opponents or capture larger areas. Conversely, as a child, you may be more agile to dodge and seek opportunities.
