Multiplayer Typing: How Live Races Work
Multiplayer typing turns a familiar practice passage into a live race. Everyone in a room sees the same text while progress updates in real time.

Create or join a room
A host creates a room, chooses a name and race settings, then shares the room link or code. Friends open that link, enter a display name, and join while the room is waiting.
Before and during the race
The host waits for players to arrive and start the race. Players type the same passage, while the room updates progress, WPM, accuracy, readiness, and completion state.
How results appear
When the race ends, the results view orders the players by WPM and shows accuracy. The numbers describe this race; they are not a permanent ranking or a guarantee about future performance.
Accounts and room links
The current public flow does not require an account. Room links contain a room code in the URL, so share them only with the people you want to invite. Rooms can expire or be removed when a race ends.
Practical tips
- ✎Agree on a duration before inviting a group.
- ✎Accuracy still matters in a race; rushing can make a fast result less useful.
