How it works

  • Same passage, same sixty seconds, one shared count. More correct characters wins.
  • Against a person it's live: you watch each other type, keystroke by keystroke.
  • Your side counts as a real test in your history. Theirs is just the race.

Questions

Am I racing a real person?
Yes when you find a match, accept a nudge, or open a friend's code: a live person typing at the same moment. When nobody is around you can play the computer instead, and it is always labelled as the computer.
How does the computer opponent type?
Like a person: it slips and corrects, speeds up and tires, and it paces itself from your own recent speed with a temperament of its own for each duel. Beatable, but never the same twice.
Can someone cheat?
A duel only reaches the head-to-head board when both players' results agree and both pass the same checks as the speed leaderboard. Anything that fails stays off the board; your own history keeps every duel regardless.
Is this free?
Yes. No account, no sign-up, no download. Appearing online, nudging and being nudged all work as a guest; an account only adds a name of your choosing.
