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.

    Hello there,

    I am a student at Georgia Tech working on a project with a similar typing game and really liked this one especially the way your text effects come in as you type. I was wondering if you would be able to share your .fla file. I’m in an experimental design class and was going to create a typing game in which the keyboard isn’t laid out as QWERTY but rather alphabetical, and see how people performed. Any assistance would be fantastic. Thanks, LOVE the game!

      Hi Amrit, thanks for playing. Fingerjig is closed source I’m afraid. The project you’re working on sounds interesting though, best of luck with it.

    Fun game, but I miss the old background.

    • Jon

      You can switch back to the old background if you want via the design page.

  10. Hey, great game! it was really fun.
    Just wanted to know if there is any chance to add a Spanish dictionary? because I tried with the English but it’s not the same for me lol and I think I can improve my proficiency if I practice with this game, thanks.

    Either way, great work.
