Is NinjaType a TypeRacer alternative?
NinjaType is an independent typing race app with free room-based multiplayer, nicknames, Words and Time modes, shared passages, and rematches. It is not affiliated with TypeRacer. Choose it when you want to create a room, invite friends, or join an available public race without an account.
Can I play a typing race with friends for free?
Yes. Choose a nickname and create a typing race room. You’ll enter its lobby automatically, where you can share the invitation link with your friends. NinjaType multiplayer is free and does not require an account. You can also choose a public room to race other players.
How does the multiplayer typing test work?
At least two players ready up and start after a shared countdown. Everyone types the same passage. Correct each word before advancing. In Words mode, the first accepted completion or the two-minute limit ends the round for everyone. In Time mode, the selected timer ends the round.
Can I see my typing speed and accuracy during a race?
Your words per minute (WPM), accuracy, word progress and time remaining update on your screen while you type. WPM uses correct characters divided by five, divided by elapsed minutes. Accuracy includes mistakes you later correct. The top-five panel shows opponents’ estimated WPM and completion about every second, ranked by completion. After the race, compare everyone’s final scores and WPM or completion trend chart.
Can I choose a timed typing race and dictionary?
Yes. When creating a room, choose Words mode with 15, 30 or 50 words, or Time mode with a 15, 30, 60 or 120-second timer. Choose from English 1k, English 5k, English 2k short or long, English 5k medium, and Brainrot. Everyone receives the same text. Words mode ends when someone finishes; Time mode runs until the timer ends and the highest correct-character score wins. Rematches keep the room’s settings.
How do I join a friend’s typing race room?
Open their invitation link or enter the exact room name, choose a nickname, and complete the security check. Room names are case-sensitive. If a race has already started, you can watch and join the next round.
Can we rematch after a typing race?
Yes. Results remain in the room for up to two minutes. Once your result is collected, choose Race again. Two connected players choosing a rematch start a new countdown. Rooms have a maximum lifetime of 20 minutes, including rematches.
What happens if I lose my connection?
Your place is held for up to two minutes so you can reconnect after a fresh security check. The race clock continues, and the room or results window may expire sooner. If multiplayer is unavailable, you can still use solo typing practice.
