Race by Typing
TypeRacer makes typing the central action in a competition against other players. Its races use text drawn from sources such as books and films, with typing speed shown in words per minute. The homepage puts a public race entry alongside a solo typing test, giving visitors a choice between competition and individual practice.
The site also offers a Quote of the Day race. This provides a shared daily text for players who want another reason to return, while the latest-scores display and Hall of Fame give a view of other racers' results.
Friends and Themed Practice
A friend-racing option creates a racetrack to share with people you want to race. Featured Universes provide alternative practice material: Dictionary uses English words, Numbers focuses on numerical input, and Repeating Words offers repeated words for practice. These choices may suit typists who want to vary the text they work on.
The homepage explains that a free account saves races and provides detailed statistics and appearance options. Language and theme selectors are also available alongside the main race controls.
