Online typing race for teams
A short, competitive race: after the countdown everyone gets the same text and types as fast as they can. Each player’s bar moves live, and the score combines words per minute and accuracy.
- 2 to 20 people
- 5 to 15 min
How to play the typing race
- Create a Typing Race room and share the link.
- Choose the number of rounds and the text length.
- The host starts: after a 3-second countdown, the text appears for everyone at once.
- Type the text. A wrong letter stays marked and must be fixed before you move on.
- When everyone finishes, or time runs out, the round results and scoreboard appear.
Rules
- Round points: words per minute times accuracy.
- Accents are optional.
- Time is measured on the server, the same for everyone.

Tips for your team
