🪄 Magic Typing

What is Magic Typing?

Every time you press the right key, light pours out of a magic wand and magic blooms in the night sky. It is a 60-second typing game. You don’t have to finish a word first: every correct key makes magic sparkle and adds to your score. There is no time-up scene and no game over. Mistakes never take points away, and you can go right on. There is nothing to install, and it is free to play in your browser.

How to play

1. Press “Start” (or the space bar), and the 60 seconds begin.
2. Look at the word in the middle and type its letters. The letters you have typed turn gold.
3. Each correct key sends light flying in an arc and makes magic sparkle and bloom. Your score goes up, you earn experience, and your “wizard rank” goes up.
4. As your rank goes up, the words slowly get longer, and both the points for each key and the magic get bigger (butterflies, shooting stars and little rainbows join in, too).
5. Type 10 keys in a row correctly to start “Rainbow magic”: the aurora and the magic turn rainbow-colored, and your score grows twice as fast. At 20 in a row it becomes ×2.5, and at 30 it becomes ×3, with even more magic. A mistake ends the bonus, but you never lose points.
6. When the 60 seconds are up, your score and title are announced, and this game’s magic plays again as a finale.

Short words → long words → two words

You start with short words of three or four letters. As your wizard rank goes up, the words get longer, and later two words come together with a space between them (press the space bar for it). You don’t need to choose a level: the practice keeps up with how much you improve. Within one game, the same word rarely comes up twice.

A different night sky every day

The scenery of the night sky (tower, forest, lake, starry sky) changes with the date. On the same day, it is the same on every device.

Score and titles

Your score grows by “1 key × wizard rank”, and during Rainbow magic a multiplier (×2 → ×2.5 → ×3) is added. The longer you keep going without a mistake, the faster your score grows. There is no top wizard rank. Each time the gauge on the right fills up, your rank goes up, the magic gets bigger, and each key is worth more points. Depending on your score, you get a title: Apprentice wizard → Wizard → Archwizard → Sage → Legendary archwizard. Your personal best is saved only on this device.

For parents

Magic Typing is free with no sign-up, and there is nothing to buy. Records such as the personal best and the sound setting are saved only in your browser and are never sent to a server. Mistakes don’t cost points and there is no time-up scene, so children who are just starting to type can practice while feeling what they can do. With the on-screen keyboard, it can also be played by tapping the screen of a tablet. From “⚙ Settings” on the title screen, you can choose lowercase or UPPERCASE letters and show or hide the on-screen keyboard.
