Fast Typing 2 Guide, Rules, and Tips
Fast Typing 2 is a 60-second word sprint. Words appear one at a time, and you type as many as you can before the clock runs out. Practice in English mode with real words, or in Chinese mode by typing the pinyin for each word, a great way to build speed with a pinyin input method.
How to Play
- Choose English words or Chinese pinyin mode.
- In English mode, type the word shown. In Chinese mode, type its pinyin.
- Each correct answer adds to your score; wrong answers are counted separately.
- The round ends when the 60-second timer reaches zero.
Strategy and Tips
- Read the next word while you finish typing the current one.
- Slow down just enough to stay accurate; a single wrong letter skips the word and counts as a miss.
- In pinyin mode, practice common syllables until you can type them without thinking.
- Play several rounds in a row; your second and third rounds are usually your best.
Controls
Just type on your keyboard: a word is accepted the moment you finish it correctly, and a wrong letter counts as a miss and moves on to the next word. Choose the mode with the mouse or a tap before you start.
Background
Short, timed typing sprints are a popular way to practice because they focus attention and make progress easy to measure. Pinyin, the official romanization of Mandarin, is also the most widely used way to type Chinese on computers and phones.
