What is Typing Race on 808 Teens?
Typing Race on 808 Teens is a free multiplayer typing game inside the teen chat. Everyone gets the same short passage, the countdown hits GO, and you race to type it perfectly. Your words per minute, accuracy and finishing place show at the end, and you can practise on your own against computer racers.

How to play
Join a lobby or start a practice race. When the countdown reaches GO, the box unlocks and you type the passage shown above it.
Correct letters turn green and mistakes turn red, so you can fix them as you go. Pasting is blocked, and speeds no human could type are rejected.
Everyone's progress bar moves in real time. When you finish, your words per minute, accuracy and place appear, and the race ends when everyone is done or the timer runs out.
