Let’s Get Typing

The touch-typing game

Learn to touch type.
Actually enjoy it.

Fly a little rocket from planet to planet, learning a few new keys on each. Practice adapts to the keys you find hard, micro games and a space RPG keep it fresh (or switch them off), and 10 minutes a day is all it takes.

How it works

  1. 1

    Start on the home row

    Your fingers learn where they rest: f and j first, a few keys at a time, with the right finger shown for every key.

  2. 2

    Unlock keys as you improve

    Each planet has places to visit. Two stars at a place opens the next key, so you move on as soon as you’re ready, not when you’re perfect.

  3. 3

    Warp across the galaxies

    Pass a warp test to fly to the next planet: the top and bottom rows, capitals, punctuation and real stories. Then on to the Numbers and Programming galaxies.

How fast will you get?

Most adults who start from scratch reach 40 words a minute in about 10 weeks at 10 minutes a day, without looking at the keys. Children get there at their own pace; the game adjusts to everyone.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The home row (the first three planets) with Practice, Words, Micro Rush and the Voyage is free, forever, without an account. Premium (€5 a month, or €48 a year) opens the other 25 planets, in all three galaxies.

What is touch typing?

Typing without looking at the keyboard, with each finger responsible for its own keys. It’s faster, more accurate and easier on your neck than hunting for keys.

How long does it take to learn?

With 10 minutes a day, most beginners touch type the letters within a few weeks and reach 40 words a minute in about 10 weeks. The game tells you its own estimate when you sign up.

Do I need an account?

No. You can play as a guest straight away. Signing up with your email (no password, we send a login link) keeps your progress and lets you play on any device.

Which keyboards does it support?

QWERTY (US and UK), AZERTY (French), QWERTZ (German), Dvorak and Colemak. The game detects your layout and teaches its own home row.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, from about 7 years old. Players under 16 need a parent to approve their account, there are no ads or chat, and only a parent can buy Premium.

Does it work on a phone or tablet?

You need a physical keyboard. It runs in any modern browser on a computer, or on a tablet with a keyboard connected.

Can I cancel Premium?

Any time, in the game’s settings. You keep Premium until the end of the month you paid for, and within 14 days of subscribing you get your money back.

Can I practise typing code?

Yes. Once the basics are done, the Programming galaxy teaches the symbols and brackets, then has a planet for each of Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, C++, Go and Rust: real code in an editor view, Enter and indents included. It isn’t a programming course: it makes you fast at writing code.

Can I learn without the games?

Yes. Choose “just practice” when you start, or switch the games off in Settings at any time. You keep practice and words, the stars and your progress, without Micro Rush, the Voyage or golden star challenges.

Is it available in other languages?

Yes, in Dutch: there the game is called “We gaan typen”, with Dutch practice text and an extra galaxy for Dutch’s own letters (ë, é, ï and apostrophes as in ’s avonds). More languages are on the way.

Ready? Your rocket is waiting.
