Typing Wars?

I came across this fun online typing game called Qwerty Warriors or Word Shoot. It helps improve your typing speed and requires no download or installation to your computer.

To play you type the word that appears below each enemy (cartoon tanks, army men, etc.) Press enter to fire. If you typed the word correctly, the enemy is killed and you get points. If not, you can try again but hurry before the enemy shoots you! I know it sounds a tad violent, but I promise no one gets hurt - it's just typing!

A couple of hints: As you play you will figure out how you can use the fullhealth and detonate tools that are sometimes available for you. Also, a couple of the "enemies" look like misspelled words. In order to kill them you must spell them the way they are spelled on the screen even if it's a misspelling.

There are multiple levels of difficulty. Start where you feel comfortable. Warning - this game can be addictive. Would anyone like to challenge my score on the "Medium" difficulty level of 104610 points and 97% accuracy?

Click here, then click the "PLAY" link on the other site to play. (Do not click on the monkey's face - you could get lost.)
