Typing Challenge: a guide for your next round

Try a more deliberate round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

Aim for this result

Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Controls

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

An example to follow

WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

A common point of confusion

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
