Fast, fair and replayable
Thirty seconds is short enough to stay sharp the whole way through and long enough that a single lucky word does not decide your score. That makes it perfect for “one more go”.
Make every second count
- Start the moment you are ready: the timer only begins with your first key.
- Do not stop to fix old mistakes. Keep your rhythm.
- Aim for 95% accuracy or better. Clean typing is faster typing.
- Press Tab to restart instantly if a run starts badly.
