A practical guide to Typing Challenge

An idea for your next attempt

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. Keep the objective visible.

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. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The playing sequence

  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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Use a keyboard in the input field. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example to follow

WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
