How to play Snake

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Snake. Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

An idea for your next attempt

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.

The purpose of your moves

Keep collecting apples. Hitting a wall or your body ends the round; filling the entire board wins. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

How a round unfolds

  1. Press Play to start the movement.
  2. Turn with arrow keys, swipes or the on-screen direction buttons.
  3. Each apple adds ten points and makes the snake longer.
  4. Pause when needed or start a new round.

Using the playing area

Keyboard arrows, swipe gestures or the four direction buttons. Play / pause controls the movement. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

See the idea in action

When moving right, you may turn up or down, but cannot turn immediately left into your own neck. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.

Pay attention to this rule

The snake continues moving between inputs. Plan a route with space to turn. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
