Word Rush
Type as many words as you can in sixty seconds
Word Rush is a sixty-second typing sprint built for one purpose: measuring how quickly you can read, recognise and type ordinary English words. A single word appears on screen, you type it into the field, and the moment your input matches exactly the word is cleared and the next one appears. There is no submit button and no penalty for hesitation beyond the clock running down.
The scoring gives you something to chase. Completed words are counted live, and once the timer expires you get a words-per-minute figure calculated from your correct entries. Because the word list is drawn at random from a pool of over a hundred common words, no two sprints present the same sequence, which keeps the exercise honest instead of letting you memorise an order.
The game was generated with AI assistance and ships as one self-contained HTML file with no external libraries, no fonts to fetch and no network calls after the page loads. It works with a physical keyboard on desktop and with the on-screen keyboard on a phone, and it needs no account. A full sprint lasts exactly one minute, which makes it easy to slot into a break.
How to play
- Read the word shown in the centre of the screen.
- Type it into the input field underneath.
- The word clears automatically the moment your typing matches it exactly.
- Keep going until the sixty-second timer runs out.
- Check your score and words-per-minute result, then restart to beat it.
Controls
- Keyboard: type the word, it submits automatically on an exact match
- Touch: tap the input field to bring up the on-screen keyboard
- Keyboard: press Enter after a completed round to start a new sprint
Tips
- Read the whole word before you start typing instead of reading letter by letter.
- Keep your hands on the home row and look at the screen rather than the keyboard.
- Accuracy matters more than raw speed in this mode, since a mistyped word will not clear.
Frequently asked questions
How is words per minute calculated?
Your correct word count is divided by the elapsed time and scaled to a one-minute figure after the sprint ends.
Does a typing mistake end the round?
No. A mistyped word simply is not cleared, so you keep typing until the timer expires.
Is there a leaderboard?
Not currently. The game tracks only your own result for the current session.
