About Typing Games

Typing games turn the keyboard into a controller and typing practice into a race against the clock. Instead of copying a paragraph in a typing test, you type words to make something happen on screen, and the faster and cleaner you type, the better you do. They are a fun way to build speed and accuracy, and a satisfying one for anyone who already types fast.

In Type Storm words rain down on a neon city: type a word and a laser shoots it out of the sky letter by letter before it can hit the shield. The first letter locks on, every correct key fires a bolt, and a clean streak raises your combo multiplier up to ×5. The storm gets faster and the words get longer over seven waves, and your live words per minute and accuracy are shown the whole time.

Every typing game on Gamefinity runs free in your browser with nothing to install. They are made for a physical keyboard on a laptop or desktop, which puts them among our best PC games, and they also work on a phone or tablet held sideways, where you tap an on-screen keyboard. Ranked runs are verified by replaying your keystrokes on our servers, so a high score really was typed. For more games you play with the keys, see the keyboard games. The anagram games and word guessing games are typed too, the word games category has every letter game on the site, and the quick games page has more short rounds.

Frequently asked questions

  • Are typing games good typing practice?

    They practise the same thing a typing test does, typing familiar words quickly and without mistakes, but with a goal on screen that keeps you going. Type Storm shows your words per minute and accuracy live, so you can see your progress from run to run.

  • Can I play typing games on a phone?

    Yes. Hold the phone sideways and tap the on-screen keyboard that the game draws. A physical keyboard is faster, so the games are at their best on a laptop, a desktop or a tablet with a keyboard.

  • Do I need to download anything?

    No. Every typing game on Gamefinity runs in your browser and starts instantly, with no download, plug-in or account.
