Word Storm
Type the falling words to blast them out of the sky before they land — a typing test disguised as an arcade game.
About this game
Word Storm turns typing practice into a fast arcade game. Words drift down from the top of the screen, and the only way to stop them is to type them out, letter for letter, before they reach the ground. Start a word and the game locks onto it so your keystrokes finish it off, then you pick your next target — usually whichever word is falling fastest toward the line. Clear words in quick succession to build a combo multiplier that stacks up your score, but a single missed letter breaks the streak, so accuracy pays as much as speed. The storm intensifies the longer you last: words fall faster and arrive thicker, until three of them slip past and it is over. Your words-per-minute and score tick live at the top, making it a genuine typing workout you will actually want to repeat, and your best run is saved between visits. It plays with a real keyboard or a phone's on-screen one — tap the field, and type. No download, no sign-up.
Controls
Type the letters of a falling word on your keyboard.
- The lowest word matching your first letter locks in, and your keystrokes complete it.
- On a phone, tap the play area to bring up the on-screen keyboard and type.
How to play
Words fall from the top of the screen. Type a word's letters in order to destroy it before it reaches the line at the bottom.
Scoring
- Typing a letter locks onto the lowest word that starts with it, and finishing that word clears it and scores points based on its length and your current combo.
- Clear words back to back to raise the combo multiplier; a wrong letter resets it.
Lives
- Each word that lands costs a life — lose three and the storm wins.
- The pace quickens the longer you survive, so keep your fingers moving.
