Typing Challenge: what to know before playing

An idea for your next attempt

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.

Aim for this result

Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  1. Start challenge.
  2. Type words and spaces as shown.
  3. Check speed and accuracy feedback.
  4. Exact completion or the timer ends the round.

Your inputs

Use a keyboard in the input field. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.

Put the rules into context

WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

A common point of confusion

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
