Game Instructions
This typing game rewards you more for accuracy than speed. The goal, aside from correctly typing the words, is to avoid typos and thereby build long streaks of correct keystrokes.
One by one, words will fall from the top of the game board. As you type them they will disappear. If you are unable to complete the word before it hits the bottom, it will count as a mistake. The game ends once you have made 5 mistakes in any given round.
Meanwhile, there are two meters on the left that indicate your current streaks. The leftmost bar displays your keystroke streak while the other one displays your word streak. They will continue to build as long as you type each keystroke or word correctly but will reset as soon as you err.
Your score for each word depends on three things in the following order:
1) Your current keystroke streak
2) Your current word streak and
3) How far the word fell before you successfully typed it.
