Thursday Typing Tournament
10Work sucks today so I’m practicing my typing. I don’t type nearly as much as I used to, so I feel like I need to brush up.
So far the most fun free game I found is:
www.typing.com/student/game/ztype
This game goes from easy to OMG WHY IS MY GUN NOT WORKING real quick.
Current best:
Score: 1664
Wave: 15
Accuracy 94%
Longest Streak: 137
Let’s see what you got!

Imma two-finger kind of guy, but this might work:
Fun!
Low score, low level, I suck. Meh. What’s killing me is my habit of hitting the space bar after every word.
@ruouttaurmind that was an issue for me too! It seems counterintuitive.
First and only game played
@RiotDemon said:
Boss walks by and says to herself “I wish more employees could be like RiotDemon, just look at her go!”
This is way too much fun.
@riskybryzness I’m glad you are liking it!
auughhghg the little random letters kill me every time
@halfling woah! Nice streak!
@RiotDemon I definitely got distracted for a little while LOL - thank you!
@halfling welcome! Glad it was distracting!
The game cheats.
Some of the words “explode” into individual letters. As I’m typing them, they sometimes go off the screen. But if you remember them and attempt to type them, it hurts your accuracy and it may even start typing another word on the screen. Not knowing which word you started, all items you type after that are errors.
Also, words are hidden behind other words.
I saw the word “commend” and started typing the “c” and got an error. Apparently the “re” in “recommend” was hidden (I could only see “commend by that time”) by another word so it started typing some other random word that started with a “c” but it was not easily visible so I didn’t know what next to type to fix that problem.
Game needs some programming help but it’s a pretty cool game if you want to test your typing and do it in a fun way.
@cengland0 the exploding ones are missiles shot from the big ships. I try to shoot the ships first so that doesn’t happen.
Those trip me up when I inadvertently start a word that I don’t see. Then I freak out a little.
Did you try any of the other games they had? Ninja Cat anyone?
I learned to type in chat and with typing of the dead. I loved that game. I’ll have to give this a shot
@ivannabc I’ve wanted Typing of the Dead forever. Wish it was free.
I didn’t get to do it yesterday, but played some today. Best is 2308, wave 18, 94.8%, 193 streak. It’s fun but it gets crazy there. The worst is if you accidentally hit a letter that starts another word (like if you were shooting at the missiles and they went off screen) and you don’t know what word you’re supposed to be typing now. When they get thick in later levels that is what did me in.
@djslack that’s what gets me every time!
@RiotDemon I found out after posting that that backspace will get you out of a word. Maybe that will help.
@djslack oooh. Will try that next time I’m bored at work.
