Two ways to play
Arcade
Words fall from the sky towards your base. Start typing a word and your turret locks on to it, turning each letter green as you type it. Finish the word to blast it. If a word reaches the ground you lose a life, and after three the game is over.
- Each wave brings more words, and they fall faster. Long words appear from wave 3.
- Every five words in a row without a mistake raises your points multiplier, up to five times.
- Gold words are power-ups: ❄ Freeze stops every word for four seconds and ✸ Boom clears the whole screen.
1-minute typing test
Type the words shown as fast and accurately as you can. Press Space after each word. The clock starts with your first key and runs for 60 seconds. At the end you get your typing speed in words per minute (WPM), your accuracy, and how many words you typed correctly.
How your speed is measured
Typing speed counts a "word" as five characters, including spaces, which is the standard way WPM is calculated. Only words you type correctly count towards your speed, so mistakes slow you down. Raw speed counts every word you typed, right or wrong.
| Speed | What it means |
|---|---|
| Under 25 WPM | Learning: focus on accuracy first |
| 25 to 40 WPM | Typical for casual typists |
| 40 to 60 WPM | Above average, comfortable for most jobs |
| 60 to 80 WPM | Very fast |
| 80 WPM and up | Professional speed |
Typing tips
- Use the home row. Rest your fingers on A S D F and J K L ;. The bumps on F and J help you find them without looking.
- Accuracy before speed. Fixing mistakes costs more time than typing a little slower.
- Look at the screen, not the keys. It feels slow at first, but it is how every fast typist learned.
- Practise little and often. A few minutes a day improves your speed faster than one long session.
