How to play
- Click the game area and start typing; there's no need to aim.
- Any falling word that matches what you've typed is destroyed instantly.
- Press Backspace to fix a mistake, or Escape to clear the whole input.
- Every 10 words cleared is a new level with faster, longer words.
What it teaches
Falling Words trains quick word recognition and typing under time pressure. Because you need to scan the screen while you type, it rewards looking at the screen rather than your hands, which is the core habit of touch typing.
Frequently asked questions
Is Falling Words free?
Yes. It runs in your browser with no download, no sign-up and no ads.
Is this game good for kids?
Yes. Early levels use short, common words and fall slowly, so younger typists can play from about age seven.
How is my score calculated?
Each word scores its length multiplied by the current level, so longer words at higher levels are worth much more.
