Type the words as fast as you can. Letters disappear as you type them. After you complete the test, you will see a results screen that shows your wpm (words per minute) typing speed.

Speed Typing
Dec 3rd
Game Intrsuctions
The object of this game is to type the 12 words in each round as quickly as possible, without making any typos.
You will be presented with words one by one. Type them as they appear. As you type each word, the characters you have entered will turn red to indicate your progress. As soon as you complete a word, you will be presented with another one – you do not need to hit the space bar or enter key.
If you make a mistake, you will see a red X appear and the game will pause briefly before you are presented with the next word.
The game will continue until you make 10 mistakes over the course of the game.
Your score is based on how many words you type correctly, how fast you do it, and what round you are on.

Game Intrsuctions
To play, either paste some text into the input box, or just hit enter to have the application provide you with text. If you add your own text, make sure you add enough to type for 45 seconds.
Once the time starts, begin to type the text. Your output will appear below the sample text as you type. As soon as you make an error, your text will turn red. At this point, make sure you go back to correct your error (at which point the text will return to being black).
Your score is in words per minute and is based on how far you made it correctly through the text.
