About the Typing Speed Competition Online
Kwebby's Typing Speed Competition Online turns a typing test into a head-to-head match. You press Play, enter a racer name, pick how many rounds to play, and race one opponent through the same passage on a full-screen 3D arena. Every round uses a harder passage than the last, so a 10-round match starts with short lowercase words and ends with numbers, symbols and code. Win the most rounds to win the match, then share a score card on X, LinkedIn or WhatsApp.
Key Takeaways
- The Typing Speed Competition is a free 1v1 typing game that runs in your browser with no account.
- You choose 1 to 10 rounds. Each round raises the difficulty level, from plain words up to symbols, numbers and code.
- Both racers see each other's progress live on a 3D track, with words per minute (WPM) and accuracy for each round.
- The racer who finishes the passage first wins the round. The racer with the most round wins takes the match, and average WPM breaks a tie.
- After the match you get a PNG score card and a share link with your result.
- Passages are in English. Paste is turned off, so every character counts.
What Is the Kwebby Typing Speed Competition Online?
The Typing Speed Competition is a multiplayer typing speed test. A standard typing test measures you against a clock. A race measures you against another typist, which makes each second count and shows you how your speed compares in practice.
The game sits in Kwebby's Text Tools collection, next to the Word Counter Pro and the Readability Checker.
Key Features and How It Works
Live 1v1 matchmaking
When you press Find a race, the game searches for another typist who picked the same number of rounds. When it finds an opponent, the match starts with a 5-second countdown.
Rounds that get harder
You can play a quick 1-round race or a full 10-round match. The game spreads 10 difficulty levels across your rounds:
| Level | What the passage contains |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | Short lowercase words and simple sentences |
| 3-5 | Capitals, full stops, commas and longer words |
| 6-7 | Numbers, times, quotes, dashes and semicolons |
| 8-10 | Technical terms, brackets, symbols, email addresses and code |
Full-screen 3D arena
The race runs on a full-screen arena with three columns. The left column shows your opponent, with live WPM, progress and rounds won. The middle column shows the round timer and a 3D track where both racers move as they type. The right column is your typing panel.
Big word carousel and combos
Your panel shows the current word in large 3D letters, with the previous word sliding out and the next two words waiting. Correct letters turn green, a wrong letter turns red and the word shakes. Every finished word pops a +1, and five clean words in a row start a combo.
Win banner and rematch
When you win, confetti bursts from both sides of the screen and a YOU WIN banner shows your round score. Press Rematch to play the same opponent again. If your opponent asks for a rematch first, a Join in button appears.
Word-by-word typing
You type one word at a time. When the word matches, including its space, the box clears and the next word starts. A wrong character turns the box red until you fix it, and each wrong keystroke lowers your accuracy.
Shareable score card
When the match ends, Kwebby builds a 1200 x 630 PNG score card with your name, your opponent, the round score, your average and best WPM, and your accuracy. Share it to X, LinkedIn or WhatsApp, download the PNG, or copy the link. The link opens a page that shows the card and invites others to race.
How to Use the Typing Speed Competition
- Press Play. The arena opens full screen.
- Enter your racer name. Use 2 to 20 letters, numbers, spaces, dots, dashes or underscores. The name is saved in your browser for next time.
- Pick the number of rounds. Choose 1 to 10. More rounds means higher difficulty in the later rounds.
- Press Find opponent. The game looks for an opponent and starts the countdown.
- Type the big word. Type each word in the carousel and press space to move on.
- Check the round result. Between rounds you see both racers' WPM, accuracy and time, then the next countdown starts.
- Share or rematch. After the last round, share the score card, press Rematch, or find a new opponent.
How WPM and Accuracy Are Calculated
Words per minute uses the standard typing-test definition: one word equals 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation. A 300-character passage finished in 60 seconds scores 60 WPM. Accuracy is the share of correct keystrokes out of all keystrokes in the round. The server records each racer's finish time, so both racers see the same result.
Tips to Type Faster
Keep your eyes on the text
Look at the next word, not at the keyboard. Touch typing from the home row (ASDF and JKL;) removes the delay of finding keys.
Fix errors at once
The game does not let you move past a wrong character. A fast correction costs less time than a long run of wrong keys.
Practise the hard levels
Levels 8 to 10 use brackets, symbols and numbers. Practise these characters on their own, because they slow most typists more than plain words do.
Common Use Cases
- Practice with pressure: a live opponent pushes you harder than a solo timer.
- Classroom and team challenges: students or colleagues race each other and post their score cards.
- Warm-up before writing or coding: one or two rounds wake up your fingers.
- Tracking progress: play a 10-round match each week and compare your average WPM.
Related Kwebby Tools
- Word Counter Pro: counts words, characters and reading time.
- Readability Checker: scores text with 10 readability formulas.
- Change Text Case: converts text between upper, lower and title case.
- Grammar Checker: finds spelling and grammar issues.
Final Thoughts
The Typing Speed Competition gives you a reason to type faster: an opponent in the next lane. Pick your rounds, race through harder passages, and share your score card when you win.

How many rounds can I play?
You can play 1 to 10 rounds per match. Each round uses a harder passage than the one before it.
