Since a player's moves improve their position by effectively reserving the adjacent vertices for them alone, positions in Snort are typically hot.

In contrast, in the closely related game Col, where adjacent vertices may not have the same color, positions are usually cold.

Thereafter they alternate turns sliding a single piece along a line to an adjacent vertex.

"Twice any label is the sum of the labels on adjacent vertices,"

In graph-theoretic terms, each move is made to the adjacent vertex with the least degree.

In geometry, an edge is a line segment joining two adjacent vertices in a polygon.

At each turn, the player moves one of his two pieces into the adjacent vacant vertex.

The degree of a vertex is equal to the number of adjacent vertices.

A clique in a graph is a set of pairwise adjacent vertices.

This can be understood by letting each connection of the loop edge count as its own adjacent vertex.
