snakes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moves twisting one way and the other' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'harry kane's special' is the wordplay.
'harry' indicates an anagram (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'special' becomes 's' (common abbreviation as in Special Air Service).
'kanes' is an anagram of 'snake'.
'snake'+'s'='SNAKES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snakes that I've seen before include "Scaly reptiles" , "Eg, cottonmouths, boas" , "Rattlers, asps, cobras etc" , "Legless reptiles" , "Winds; adders" .)
