No more games I said. And still, this one is just to good to pass on. I already wrote about it on my new games blog Take9 but since it’s relatively new I thought it would be ok to post about this game here at Ghacks as well. Typeracer is a game that you play in your browser. It worked surprisingly well in Firefox which is something that I have not expected.
The objective of Typeracer is to type faster than all the other players. Each race consists of a few sentences that have to be typed as fast as possible in a text field. Typing a word correctly moves your car a tad closer to the finish line. That pretty much sums the whole game up.
What I like about Typeracer is that you can start playing right away. No registration, no plugins, no downloads. That’s awesome. If you are a little bit shy you can practice at first and start a real race once you feel comfortable with the game mechanics.
A word per minute (wpm) count of 50-60 usually is enough to finish the game first. It’s lots of fun and you probably improve your typing skill as well. Who’s up for a race ?

Can someone really type 218 wpm??
funny game, but way too much intense for me, my hands are aching.
I doubt that this is possible. Probably a cheat
Would love to see a German version of this.
The late Barbara Blackburn clocked the world’s fastest typing speed at 212wpm. She used Dvorak.
