A free 60-second typing game from Japan: words appear on screen and you type them in romaji on a regular keyboard, racing the clock while the game tracks your speed and accuracy. Five levels cover everyday Japanese words from beginner to an advanced proverbs course, plus two English-vocabulary modes - so it doubles as typing practice for Japanese learners and a quick daily speed drill. The interface is in Japanese, and a desktop or laptop keyboard is recommended (the game says so itself). No download, no sign-up.
It is a free Japanese-made typing practice game. Words appear on screen and you type them in romaji against a 60-second clock, while the game tracks your score, keystrokes per minute, misses, and accuracy. It runs in your browser with no download and no sign-up.
No. You type plain romaji on a standard QWERTY keyboard. In fact, if your computer's Japanese input mode (IME) is switched on, turn it off - the game expects direct alphanumeric input.
It is a nice drill if you already know kana: words are shown in Japanese with their kana reading, and typing them in romaji reinforces both reading and spelling. There are also two English-vocabulary modes if you just want a speed workout.
The menus are in Japanese - it is a Japanese-made game aimed at Japanese players - but the layout is simple: one start button, a level picker with five options, and a results screen. The two English-vocabulary levels use English words.
Five: beginner Japanese words, intermediate Japanese words, an advanced Japanese proverbs course, and two English vocabulary levels (easy and hard).
It is designed for a physical keyboard - the game itself recommends playing on a PC keyboard - so a desktop or laptop is the way to go.
