FAQ
Does my ping affect my score?
No. The game tracks every player's ping, and the scoring system accounts for it — your placement reflects your typing, not your connection. Distance to the server never decides a round.
Do I need to capitalize or punctuate?
No. Phrases are letters and spaces — nothing else. Capitalization is ignored entirely, and no phrase ever contains punctuation, symbols, apostrophes, or hyphens. If you can hear it, you can type it with nothing but the letter keys.
What do WPM, ACC, and RT mean?
- WPM — words per minute: your characters per minute divided by 5, the typing-test standard word length (spaces included). Characters are counted from your final answer over your typing time, so it's directly comparable to your score in any typing test.
- ACC — accuracy: net characters divided by gross keystrokes — how much of what you typed made it into the answer you submitted. Type it clean with no corrections and it reads 100%; every typo, backspace, and wasted keystroke pulls it down. It measures clean typing, not whether your answer was right — spelling it wrong costs you points, not ACC.
- RT — reaction time: milliseconds from the go signal to your first keystroke.
- PB — personal best. In match results, ♛ marks the best WPM and ★ the fastest RT of the match.
Stats count only rounds you got correct — speed on a wrong answer doesn't earn averages or personal bests.
What if a phrase feels unfair?
We do our best to audit the quality of all phrases, but if something seems off you can report it after the game and we'll take a look!
