How your shadow works
Your shadow follows the average WPM of your fastest valid saved attempt, projected onto this passage. It’s a pace to chase, rather than a replay of each keystroke. Finish your first run to set a benchmark. Each new race uses your best saved pace.
Solo typing race FAQ
What is Ghost Race in NinjaType?
Ghost Race is a solo race against your shadow: the average pace of your fastest valid saved typing attempt. Choose a 15, 30, or 50-word track and start after a three-second countdown. If you have no saved attempts, finish a run to set a pace you can race next time.
How does my shadow race me?
Your best saved WPM is projected onto the current passage using the standard five-character word measure. Your shadow starts with you and keeps that pace until the finish. Finish sooner to beat it. This follows your average past speed rather than replaying individual keystrokes. Correct each word before pressing space to advance.
Does Ghost Race track accuracy and penalties?
Accuracy measures correct character presses across your attempts, including mistakes you later correct. Mistakes must be corrected before advancing to the next word, so they cost typing time. There is no additional time penalty.
Can I use Ghost Race on mobile and tablet devices?
Yes. The layout adapts to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens. A physical keyboard is recommended for typing practice. Saved attempts remain in the browser where you completed them.
Do I need an account to use NinjaType Ghost Race?
No account is required. Choose a race length, select Start race, and begin typing when the countdown finishes. Completed race results are saved locally to your typing history. Your solo practice settings are kept separate.
A solo typing game against your personal best
Practise against your saved typing pace
Ghost Race turns your fastest valid saved WPM into a steady shadow on a fresh passage. It follows your average pace rather than replaying each keystroke. Choose 15, 30, or 50 words, correct each word before advancing, and compare your finish with the shadow. Your first completed run sets a benchmark if no saved attempt is available.
