Typing Battle

About Typing Battle

Typing Battle turns your keyboard into a weapon, which is the oldest good idea in this genre and still the most effective. Enemies advance toward you and each one carries a word; type the word correctly and the enemy dies before it reaches you. Get it wrong or get it slowly and it keeps coming. The reason this format works better than a plain typing test is that it supplies something a test cannot, which is consequence. In a speed test a mistake costs you a fraction of a point, so there is no real pressure to be accurate. Here a mistake is a thing walking toward you, and that converts abstract accuracy into something you feel, which is why action-typing games tend to improve real typing speed faster than drills do. The waves are relentless and get faster as you survive, so the game steadily raises the words-per-minute you need just to hold position.

How to play Typing Battle

1. Watch the enemies approaching and read the word each one carries.
2. Type a word correctly to destroy the enemy carrying it.
3. Prioritise whichever enemy is closest to reaching you.
4. Keep up as the waves arrive faster and the words get longer.
5. Survive as long as your typing speed allows.

Controls

• Desktop: A physical keyboard. Type the word on an approaching enemy to attack it.
• Mobile / tablet: Needs a keyboard, so best played on a desktop or laptop.

Typing Battle tips & strategy

• Always type the nearest enemy, not the easiest word. Distance is the only thing that kills you.
• Commit to one word at a time. Switching targets halfway through usually means neither enemy dies.
• Accuracy matters more here than in a speed test, because a mistyped word buys the enemy a free step forward.
• This is the game on this hub most likely to actually raise your typing speed, because the pressure is real rather than scored.
