What you'll practise
Vocab Snake is a free way to practise German vocabulary in your browser. You are shown a word, then steer a growing snake to swallow its letters in the right order. Because you have to recall the spelling under time pressure instead of picking it from a list, the words stick harder than they do in multiple-choice review. No account, no download, and a round lasts about three minutes.
How to play
- Read the word at the top of the screen.
- Steer the snake over its letters, in order.
- Avoid the wrong letters and your own tail.
ControlsArrow keys or WASD on a keyboard. Swipe or use the on-screen pad on touch.
