Typing Challenge: how a round works

One thing to notice as you play

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.

What the game asks you to do

Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Use a keyboard in the input field. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

One way to understand the rules

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. Choose a deliberate next step.

Watch out for this

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
