SUMI TYPING has seven typing game modes, all free in your browser: a timed typing test, a race against your own ghost, drills built from your mistakes, code practice, an un-timed zen mode, a word-slicing arcade round and sudden death. A separate pacer race adds ten rivals from 30 to 400 WPM.
Every mode is typed inside the same living Japanese ink worlds. Pick the one that fits what you want from the next few minutes: a number to beat, a habit to fix, or a quiet place to type.
The core test: 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds of unbroken ink. Speed is scored as net WPM, correct characters divided by five, per minute, and accuracy is counted at strike time. Every test length has its own global leaderboard, so this is the mode to choose when you want a score you can compare on the global board for that length.
Shadow races the ghost of your own best run. There is no stranger to beat, only the version of you that typed fastest last time.
Practice builds drills from your own logged mistakes: the words you missed and the keys that slow you down. It is the mode for fixing a habit instead of chasing a number.
The Forge is JavaScript and web syntax typing practice. Beginner keeps to short keywords; the default tier adds operators and brackets, the characters that ordinary word lists rarely ask your fingers to find; Elite mixes in hard vocabulary words.
Seated Stillness is the zen typing mode. There is no clock, only long-form calm: you type until you choose to stop.
An arcade round where you slice the words out of the sky before they fall. It is the game-like mode, built on the same typing as every other.
Sudden death: a single wrong strike ends the run. Accuracy is the whole game here.
Race mode puts you against ten house rivals from 30 to 400 WPM, or against a pace you set yourself, so you can practice against the speed you are aiming for.
Three difficulty tiers reshape the words (Practice always drills your own missed words), and you can set the word size (S–XL) and the number of lines (2–4) you read. All seven modes are free, with no ads and no install. You do not need an account: a guest keeps everything local to the browser, and signing in with Google is only for the global leaderboard.
