Go TypeRacer go! |
Loading ...I’m a sucker for practice. I hear some people complain about practicing like it’s some kind of time waster. Hey, if you want to improve your skill at something it should require work, shouldn’t it?
A couple days ago I shared the finger perils of not enough guitar practice and have referred to this blog numerous times as writing practice, so it should be no surprise that I’m also into typing practice.
TypeRacer joins the chorus of websites that lets you practice your typing skills. If you’re a busy person who needs more time but still love to write, just think what increasing your typing speed could do?
With TypeRacer you can compete against others to see who is the fastest keyboard masher of the pack. The results of my first time playing are pictured above. Third place for a little over 30 words per minute. My current typing speed is around 45-55 wpm.
How fast is your typing these days? And do you practice?
It took a couple tries to get used to the scrolling words (which I don’t like), but I was quickly able to get up to around my usual at 74 wpm. The only ‘practice’ I do is my regular typing.

I got 89wpm first try. I had to do a Bob Dylan song, so having to capitalize a bunch of words in the middle of the sentence definitely slowed me down.
Thanks for giving me another game addiction :/

I love this game! I got a 72…I think I could get it higher, but I don’t want to become an addict of this game!
