Fingerjig

Fingerjig is a 6 minute typing game that tests your typing ability. Words are randomly chosen from a dictionary of over 70,000. You must try to type the words as quickly and accurately as you can!

Can’t see the game?
You probably need to install Flash!

Typing Tips

  • Typing fast will rack up points but keep an eye on how many mistakes you’re making.
  • Try to improve your net words per minute by making fewer typing mistakes – experiment with typing a bit slower.
  • Touch typing is much faster than hunting and pecking!
  • Taking a moment to read each word can help reduce typing mistakes.
  • Say each letter in your head as you type it to improve your accuracy for long words.
  • Use a keyboard you feel comfortable with. I particularly like the Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.
  • Practise! You may also find that since the words are picked randomly some selections will suit you better than others.
  • Remember to take a break now and then to avoid repetitive strain injury.

Troubleshooting

If you’re having problems playing Fingerjig then please try the following:

  1. Check that you have Adobe Flash Player installed.
  2. If you don’t have Flash installed then you will need to install Flash.
  3. Make sure that Javascript is enabled in your web browser.
  4. Feel free to send me an email describing your problem.

    • tajonae

      this game is not fun after a while it boring and ur head start to hurt

      • Jenny

        No, you are wrong-Wrong-WRONG. This game is the best thing I’ve ever stumbled upon. Death to those who degrade the Glorious Game of Fun!

    • shannon

  9. I Luv this game the only thing is I always get a horrible score because of those REALLY OOOOOOOOONG words!!!!:( BUt otherwise luv the game.

  10. This game is kind of cool but since I have a typing speed of 70 words per minute it is
    kind of boring in a way.

  11. melissa

    Thank you very help.

  14. ryan ry-an

    My highest scor is 790,000 i like this game dawgs

  15. Haley

    This game is kinda boring but fun! I love how the words fly at me… It makes me dizzy lol

  16. emm

    Do you think you could put Spanish on here in addition to English, Italian, and Polish? Dominic, my mother can do 100 words per minute.

  17. this game rocks but should add sound effects

  18. I love the game but I really suck at it because I haven’t been practicing. Otherwise I love it. Besides I’m only nine years old!

  19. this game rocks but don’t you think you could add more levels?

  20. Tory

    when you suck at this game it really stinks……….

  21. Roxu

    I hate how the letters fade away. My typing speed on the game was 45 WPM, when every test I take gives me 70 WPM as a usual minimum, occasionally 60 or 65. Even thought it is kinda fun, it isn’t that accurate at determining your speed because of the fading and that it only shows one word at a time.

  22. hmenne

    i have problems playing version 1.3 and i can’t find the 1.05.1 version that’s bug free. can you please post the direct swf link?

    1.3 randomly skips parts of the test for instance instead of getting to the last part (120 second test) it goes directly to the score screen.

  23. Angie

    I love this game. It beats every other typing game I’ve ever played. Thanks for making it.

  24. lou

    i love this game.. it makes my fingers motivated =)

  25. samantha

    i love this game…it’s awesome…only thing i wish the words wasn’t so long..also need to add numbers into the equation.

  26. Zoe Anderson

    omg i love this game ugh its so fun there should be more of these

  27. I love this game, help me practice my typing skill :-)

  28. Kristina

    Im not sure if anyone else noticed but there were some racial slurs used as words .. beaner, chinks, blacks (not really a slur, but came almost right after the other two words so kinda seemed like it) … SERIOUS, no joke! :S

    • Jon

      When I compiled the list of words I filtered out all the unsavoury ones I could think of… but I guess there are some I haven’t heard. I’ve removed that first one now – the other two aren’t really slurs because they have harmless meanings (it depends how you choose to interpet them).

      • Jessica

        I completly agree, at theend of the day there only racist words if you chose to use them in that way otherwise they are not <3

    • Morgan Tacoa

      Ha, I was just telling my classmate about seeing honky. I was like “What the hell? I hope there’s a double-meaning!” Then I started reading this and we were rolling lol.

  29. Jackie

    this is so fun IF YOU DO IT IN ITALIAN OR POLISH
    other than that it is soooooooooo boringgggggggg

  30. Ryan

    When my teacher wants me to keyboard i play this game.

  31. Elisa

    this game is like sooooooooooooo awesome and i want to be a master in it. But the downfall is that people are typing much faster than me every single day so i guess with a little more practice i can and will be a mastered champion!

  32. Julian Kyle

    Woot I’m not showing off, I guess I am acutely, but I got 7th so far today. Props to you Pus for getting such a high score!

  33. i really love this game it is really fun! I can get really high scores, five years ago i got 1,500,456 as a score and it is really true

  34. bubbles

    this game is fun but when i have to print i dont want NINE PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. i like this game sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    much!it is good for many many things i like everything this game is kinda hard

  36. Dragontyper

    i really don’t see how this is a game, it is kind of dumb. it is just hitting random letters. a game is like halo or dragonage or something. I mean i like typing and all, but, if it wasn’t for school i wouldn’t be doing this.

  37. I LOVED IT
    LOL
    SOOOO FUN(:

  38. juanito

    Wow!!!I love this game it is fantastic… lol..this is a really good way to improve your typing skills like i improved mine.. its great! i had a hard time loading it tho! it took forever. almost 15 mins to load. but as i read comments, people inspired me to wait 15 mins for it too load. and it was worth my time. i really enjoyed this game! so thank you people that published this game! i really liked it alot!! :)

  41. Dragontyper

    …… i am not sure “retarded” should be in here, some people could take that seriosly offensive

  42. Dragontyper
