Most typing games are fun but measure very little. These are different: each game is powered by the same engine as the Check My WPM typing speed test, so your WPM and accuracy are tracked on every keystroke.
Use the games to warm up before a test, to practice a specific skill like numbers, code or data entry, or simply to keep daily typing practice fun for kids and adults.
If you are just starting out, there are learn to type games too. Typing Quest works as a free online typing tutor with 16 step-by-step lessons, and Balloon Pop is a balloon typing game that begins with single letters on the home row. Everything is free online typing practice: no downloads, no accounts and no ads.
Which typing game is right for you?
Every game trains typing, but each one trains something different. Start with the group that fits you best.
Typing games for beginners
New to the keyboard? Start with the Typing Quest lessons, which teach each key in order. Balloon Pop and Key Hunt then build key positions one letter at a time, without any time pressure on words.
Typing racing games
Want a race? Lane Racer puts you on a highway where typing steers the car, and Ghost Race sets you against a ghost at the WPM you choose. Both reward steady, accurate typing over wild speed.
Speed and arcade games
For pure speed, play Word Rush, Falling Words and Survival. They are short, intense and easy to replay, which makes them a good warm-up before a typing test.
Keyboard games for rhythm and memory
Rhythm Keys trains an even typing rhythm, Flash Recall trains reading ahead, and Word Scramble mixes spelling, word puzzles and typing.
Games for work skills
Typing at work means numbers, records and code as much as words. Number Sprint, Data Dash and Code Breaker train exactly those.
Typing games for kids
Balloon Pop, Typing Quest and Word Scramble are the gentlest starting points for children. There is nothing to install or sign up for, and scores stay on your own device.
Zombie and survival typing games
Want real pressure? Typing Zombie turns every letter into a gunshot as the dead close in, Typing Sword Fight makes you type attacks and blocks against a rival swordsman, and Survival keeps going until your mistakes run out. All three are for teens and adults.
Strategy typing games
Typing Tower Defense makes you choose which enemy to type first and when, and Typing Snake asks you to plan a safe route word by word. Speed helps, but good decisions win.
One-handed typing practice
The One-Hand Typing Game trains your left or right hand on its own. It is handy after an injury, for gamers who keep one hand on the mouse, or for finding out which hand is holding you back.
