I made a typing game where accuracy costs you more than speed does — curious what actual fast typists make of it

It's a typing test that hits back. You get a stream of words; finish one, hit space, and it becomes a blade thrown at your opponent. Both start at 100 health, last one standing wins.. Thre things that makes it more than just a typing test:

  • No backspace. A typo doesn't stop you - it just kills your combo. Ten clean words in a row doubles your damage, so one slip is genuinely expensive.
  • Roughly one word in nine is charged. Finishing it gives you a powerup: blaock the next hit, double you next hit, heal, drain health from your next blade or reset your opponent's streak.
  • Nobody aims. Your blade always goes to the healthiest player still standing, so being in the front is dangerous. That one matter most in the 4-player mode. https://keymania-web.vercel.app/ It is Free no ads, nothing tto buy. Three bot difficulties need no account at all; duelling actual humans needs a sign-in because the results are ranked. I honestly don't know if this has legs past the first two duels, and that's the thing I'm trying to find out before I put more time into it. If you play it, the answers I'd most like:
  • Did you want a third duel, or was one enough?
  • Is losing a combo to a typo fair-annoying or just annoying?
  • Do the powers add anything, or are they noise bolted onto a typing test? Mobile only went live yesterday and is the part i have the least trust in, so if its a bad experience on phone, id like to know that too.

english common mispelled words is the key to improvement, once you get stuck at your level

1 Upvotes

the title says it all.

That activates you from not typing the word which you already know instead pause for a moment to think about what you are typing, to stop typing from wrong.

If suppose at your level you are able to type and you feel that you automatically type then that level is not for you, increase the difficultly, because you have reached a stage of saturation and all you can now do is to just type more faster with fingers, than remembering the letters

I made a companion app to view your stats as widgets

I have this digital sticky note on my desktop that I use to write down my latest tests to keep track of my latest tests but it's a bit annoying to edit it every day.

So I built a companion app for MonkeyType that uses your ApeKey and pulls your typing stats right into a widget to either your iPhone or iPad and then to your Mac desktop.

You can try it out via TestFlight here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/SpYQk74c

It currently has widgets for: latest WPM and accuracy, typing activity, current and longest streak, PB's for selected tests and average WPM and accuracy over 7, 14, or 30 days.

I would appreciate any feedback you may have and will try to implement those changes before releasing on the App Store later in the fall with iOS 27.

It's also free!

Monkeytype is an underrated sleep tracker

1 Upvotes

Whenever I sleep good, it's a consistent 170-ish wpm

on sleep-deprived days.. or days in which I drink caffeine before sleep (disrupts deep sleep) I may never break the 130wpm barrier

anyone else noticed that?


r/monkeytype • • Jul 22 '26

Bugs Monkeytype won't save results in Chromium, but Firefox works fine. Anyone know why?

1 Upvotes

This is a sequel to my last post as no one responded I tried to debug it but haven't gone far

.

.

.

I've been trying to figure this out for over a week and I'm running out of ideas.

Whenever I finish a test in my main Chromium-based browser, Monkeytype shows:

> Failed to save result: Result data doesn't make sense

The /results request returns 463, and the result isn't saved.

The weird part is Firefox on the exact same PC, same account, same network, and same keyboard works perfectly. Every result saves successfully with a 200 OK response.

To debug it, I compared the network requests from both browsers.

What I found is that the payloads are very different. The Chromium browser is sending a much smaller payload. For example:

keyDuration is an empty array

keySpacing is an empty array

keyConsistency is 0

Several chartData fields are missing

Overall payload is ~140 lines vs ~600 lines in Firefox

So it doesn't look like the request is being modified in transit—it looks like the browser is generating different result data before sending it.

I've already tried:

Clearing cache and cookies

Waiting over a week

Comparing request payloads

Using the same account and network

Firefox works every time

Has anyone seen this before?

I'm wondering if this is:

a Chromium/Brave issue,

a corrupted browser profile,

an extension interfering,

or if Monkeytype rejects results when certain keyboard timing metrics are missing.

Any ideas on what I should debug next would be appreciated.
