Typing Games
Practice that doesn't feel like practice. Every game is graded from D to S, and your best score is saved.
Why typing games work
Getting faster at typing comes down to repetition: thousands of correct keystrokes until your fingers find the keys without thinking. Drills can feel repetitive. Games give you the same repetitions with a goal, a score and a reason to try "just one more". That is how a ten-minute session quietly turns into thirty.
Pick a game for your goal
- Learning the keyboard: Key Invaders drills single keys and adds new rows as the waves get harder.
- Everyday speed: Word Rain uses the most common English words, the ones you type every day.
- Real-world WPM: Typing Race uses full sentences and counts towards your Okay Rating.
- Office and data entry: Number Rush and Flash Recall build fast, accurate number entry.
Play to win, type to learn
Keep your fingers on the home row while you play and resist the urge to look down. Accuracy builds combos, and combos build scores, so the games reward exactly the habits that make you a better typist.

Which typing game should I start with?
Beginners should try Key Invaders, which focuses on single keys. Word Rain is great for everyday words, and Typing Race is the best measure of real speed. Number Rush and Flash Recall build data-entry skills.
Are these typing games suitable for kids?

What do the grades mean?
Every game ends with a grade from D to S based on your score. Your best score and grade are saved in your browser, so you can try to beat them next time. Typing Race results also count towards your Okay Rating.
