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

  14. ryan ry-an

  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).

  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!
