The book in numbers
How typing a book works
- Open Little Women and start chapter 1, or choose any chapter. The text is the real book, a paragraph at a time.
- Type it as it is written: capitals, punctuation and all. Mistakes show in red, and the next word waits until you fix them.
- Every word earns coins for crates of collectable cards, and each finished chapter pays a bonus and arcade tickets.
- Stop whenever you like. Your place is kept to the paragraph, so you can read a little every day.
- Finish the book to earn its own title, “Little Woman”, and a cover banner for your profile.
