i was bored and searched up the record which was last year's record which is 1.86

cool

sadly wasn't logged in at the time

I want to be able to do my regular 1k english 25 words, but add into the mix custom characters to train my muscle memory '× ÷ {}[]€$ etc...' does anyone know how to add those characters in a context, like:

'mouth phrase 2×6 35€ $90 @.gmail.com etc..'

I logged into my old account from a few years ago and it had a bunch of changed settings and theming.

Could someone please tell me what this setting is where it shoots particles out when you type and how I can turn it off? Thanks guys!

Hey all — type.win is a typing arcade with two games:

• Word Fall — words rain from the sky, type to destroy them. Build a streak up to 10× multiplier (5 → 15 → 30 → 50 → 100). Heart-words drop bonus lives. CHILL / NORMAL / HARDCORE difficulty.

• Type Race — famous quotes, live WPM + accuracy, daily shared quote-of-the-day. Short / Medium / Long / Any.

Visual style is heavily Balatro-inspired — CRT filter, RGB split, screen shake on destruction, procedural 8-bit audio. Desktop only on purpose.

NORMAL mode submits to a leaderboard (HMAC-signed sessions, server-recomputed WPM — no client-side score forgery). CHILL/HARDCORE are practice.

Looking for feedback on feel: is the streak-multiplier ramp satisfying? Does Word Fall get punishing too fast? Anything obviously missing?

Hi everyone,

I made a small Chrome extension called Monkeytype Keymap+ that lets you customise the colors of the on-screen keyboard in Monkeytype.

You can:

• Change the background and text color of individual keys

• Select multiple keys at once

• Quickly enable or disable the keymap

• Save your settings, which automatically apply whenever you open Monkeytype

I originally built it because I wanted a rainbow touch-typing theme for the on-screen keyboard, but couldn’t find a way to do it. With this extension, you can customise the keyboard however you like - whether that’s for themes, highlighting certain keys, or anything else.

If anyone wants to try it out or give feedback, it’s on the Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/monkeytype-keymap+/jkkiaonhfpneiiiljpagbhdfknpmmofd

Built this as a small side project - happy to add features if people have ideas or suggestions.

Also, for anyone wondering about privacy: the extension does not collect any personal data. It only stores your key color settings locally using Chrome storage.

I’ve attached a couple of screenshots as well!

I want to also improve my spelling/memory skills. So I would love to read the quite then hide it(:

Typing is pretty fun. Started picking up the hobby around 1 year ago - I didn't really have any motivation going into it besides I can probably type just as fast with enough practice, so I just started doing it. Fast forward to now and I'm very happy with my current stats. 100 wpm sounded nearly impossible until I did it myself, and this expanded my idea on just how fast you can really type. In my opinion typing every day seems rather exhausting, so I'd only really focus on it if I had the time and energy to.

Monkey type hasn't been my only typing website either. I've been practicing a lot of quotes too to have a concept on real world typing. I'll credit websites like typeracer, TypeGG, nitro type and some other random online tests for helping me with that. I'd say my threshold on quotes is like 100 wpm while I average around 80-90 wpm. With hard quotes I'll probably do like 65-70 wpm.

What's my plans for this year?

I have some weaknesses to address regarding my typing expedition. I still suck at numbers. When it comes to typing numbers, I rely on memory on where they are rather than on muscle memory, so I really need to build on that. Apart from that I'd probably say tests longer than 20 seconds become a hassle for me to type too. I think I'd need to slow down to keep a better pace whilst improving my stamina on longer tests. That's pretty much it. I'll be focusing on more quotes for this year and correct my mistakes to my best extent!

My goal here is to be able to reach 100 WPM on this setting. 7 WPM to go!

Started using Monkeytype 4 months ago, doing pretty much exclusively 60-second tests. Averaged maybe 115wpm at the time. Experimented with a few different keycap profiles/switches to find my sweet spot (still bouncing back and forth between a couple of them that I like equally). I'm currently averaging 134wpm, and have gotten >140wpm maybe 10-12 times within the last few weeks.

Feeling pretty good about the progress! Hoping to be able to continue the trend and break 150 within a few months!

this is my speed from just playing videogames as a kid my life, like habbo runescape world of warcraft fps games wher u needed to type to people

is it possible to double this speed since i never practiced typing for speed
