How to play Snake

  1. Pick a difficulty — the snake moves faster on harder settings.
  2. Steer with the arrow keys on a keyboard, or swipe on a touch screen.
  3. Eat the food to grow longer; every piece raises your score.
  4. Avoid the walls and your own tail — one collision ends the run.
  5. Your high score is saved automatically, so each run can chase a new record.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I play Snake?

Use the arrow keys to steer the snake. Eating food grows the snake and adds points — avoid hitting walls or yourself.

Does it support touch controls?

Yes. On mobile, direction buttons appear that you tap to steer the snake.

Does it need a connection or installation?

No. The game runs entirely in your browser — open and play, no installation.

How do I control the snake on a phone?

Swipe in the direction you want to turn. The game reads the swipe gesture, so no on-screen buttons get in the way of the board.

What does the difficulty setting change?

Movement speed. Higher difficulties give less reaction time between moves, which rewards planning a route instead of improvising.

How do I avoid trapping myself?

Keep away from the walls late in the game and avoid coiling into tight spaces — leave yourself an escape lane as the tail gets longer.
