Every word you type is a punch.
Every typo is an opening.

How it works

Attack and defend with your keyboard

  • Punch: type the gold word over your opponent. Every letter adds damage, so longer words hit harder.
  • Read the tell: a red word means a punch is coming. Type it before the bar empties to slip it.
  • Counter: a slip opens a 2.5-second window where every punch does double damage.
  • Star punch: slip a punch or land 8 clean words in a row to earn a star. Press Enter to throw it for triple damage.
  • Win: three knockdowns is a KO. Otherwise it goes to the judges after three 60-second rounds.
The fight loop: a gold word is a punch; a red word is an incoming punch that you type to slip, which opens a double-damage counter; clean typing earns a star for a triple-damage punch. Gold word toast Type it Your punch lands. Longer word, more damage. Red word: incoming! ladle Typed in time: slip 2.5 s opening, 2× damage Too slow You take the hit.

Each opponent fights differently

  • Word lists step up: short words, home-row keys, food, long legal words, punctuation, numbers and symbols, full sentences, then ALL CAPS.
  • Typo rules change: some opponents just make you retype, some break your combo, some throw a free counter jab, and the toughest do both.
  • Wind-ups get faster: slow and easy to read at Rookie, very fast at Pro.
  • Men's or women's circuit: pick either. Both use the same words and stats and share the leaderboards.
