Typing Racer turns typing practice into a race. When the lights go, type the short story shown on the card — every correct letter drives your car forward, while three ghost cars, Turtle, Comet and Blaze, race at steady speeds. A wrong letter turns red and stops you until you fix it with Backspace, so accuracy matters as much as speed. Your words per minute, accuracy and place update live. Finish first or second to unlock the next race; the ghosts get quicker each time, from a gentle 16 words per minute up to over 80. Every passage was written for this game.
