About Typing Race
Typing Race is a head-to-head typing speed duel: both players get the exact same sprint of words, the countdown hits GO, and the fastest accurate typist wins. Your cars surge along the track in real time so you can feel your rival closing in, live WPM updates every second, and typos hold you on the word until you fix them — speed means nothing without accuracy. Create a room and challenge a friend with one link, hit quick match for a random rival, or race the AI pacer to warm up. Every round uses a fresh word set, rematches are one tap, and your best WPM goes on the global leaderboard. It's the classic typing test made properly competitive — free, in your browser, on any device with a keyboard.

Frequently asked questions
How does the typing race work?
Both players receive the identical set of words. After a 3-second countdown, type each word and press space to advance. The first player to correctly finish all the words wins the race.
How is WPM calculated?
The standard formula: characters typed divided by five, per minute of racing. Your live WPM updates as you type and your best score can reach the global leaderboard.
Can I practice alone?
Yes — race the built-in AI pacer any time. It types at a realistic, beatable pace, so it's perfect for warming up before challenging a friend.
Is it free to play?
Completely free — no downloads, no accounts, no paywalls. Any modern browser with a keyboard works, on desktop or mobile.
