Learn the rules of Typing Challenge

Practice beyond the first move

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. Make the next step deliberately.

The challenge in front of you

Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

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.

How to interact with the game

Use a keyboard in the input field. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Try this example

WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

Check this before moving on

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
