Try a more deliberate round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Notice the feedback after each input.

What you need to achieve

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.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Your inputs

Use a keyboard in the input field. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Work through an example

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

A common point of confusion

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
