About the game
Typing is a speed-and-accuracy trainer: reproduce on-screen text as quickly and correctly as you can while the clock runs.
How to play
Type the displayed words; correct errors as you go. Your words-per-minute and accuracy are scored at the end.
Tips & strategy
['Keep your eyes on the text, not the keyboard.', 'Maintain a steady rhythm rather than bursts.', 'Fix mistakes immediately to protect accuracy.']
Advanced guide
Improve typing by prioritizing accuracy over speed; corrections cost more than slowing down. Keep your fingers on the home row, glance ahead at upcoming words, and build a relaxed, even cadence - speed follows naturally from consistency.
History & origins
Typing tutors have been standard computer-skills tools since the 1980s.
