Learn English words by typing them. TypeWords turns spelling practice into a simple daily routine. Type falling words, test what you remember, and work through word lists one unit at a time. PRACTICE WITH A RHYTHM Watch each word fall and finish typing before it reaches the bottom. Adjust the practice speed to find a pace that works for you. PUT YOUR MEMORY TO WORK Move from typing the words you see to recalling the answers yourself. Practice sessions and recall tests help you work on both spelling and memory. FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS Work through a clear unit map, complete tests, and unlock the next steps. Check your word list scores and overall progress as you go. CHOOSE YOUR WORD LISTS Start with the included vocabulary or download additional word lists. Switch between lists to focus on your current learning goal.
