Typing Race

Three bots, one passage. They're matched to your speed, so every race is close.

Race the speed you can actually beat

Typing Race looks at your recent tests and sets three bots around your average: one slightly slower, one about level and one slightly ahead. Win, and the next race gets a touch harder. Lose, and they ease off. You're always one good race away from first place, which is exactly why "one more race" is hard to resist.

Racing tips

  • Rest your fingers on the home row during the countdown. Bots start on "Go!".
  • Mistakes have to be fixed before a word counts, so accuracy wins races.
  • Watch the passage, not the cars. Glancing at the track costs more time than you think.

Every race is rated, so wins also lift your Okay Rank. Want a calmer measure of your speed? Take the typing test.

Frequently asked questions

How fast are the bots?

The three bots are set around your average speed from recent tests: one a little slower, one about the same, one a little faster. Each win in a row makes them slightly faster, so every race stays close.

Does a race count towards my rating?

Yes. Races use full passages, so they count as rated tests and can move your Okay Rating up or down.

Do I have to start typing on “Go!”?

The bots start on “Go!”, so any delay costs you. Keep your fingers on the home row during the countdown.
