I wish there was a bit more to the game. Maybe some difficulty or scaling of the speed over time. Like starting a bit slower then the current pace and speeding up with each word or amount of letters typed. A sound or ding when a word is finished would also go a long way to give feedback and satisfaction when finishing a word.
On the other hand, I love that there is virtually no restart time and that failing words just restarts silently with no penalty/insults or summary to click through. Also, thanks for simply ignoring mistakes. A lot of the other typing practice tools I tried today highlight mistakes or fail on pressing the wrong key. Those are great for accuracy but come across pretty mean feeling when just starting out.
I recently got a new split keyboard and this was just what I needed and a great way to practice! I quickly discovered I have some bad hand crossing habits for typing fast that now hit "missing" keys thanks to the split keyboard design. Felt pretty silly this afternoon going from being the fastest in my house to suddenly scoring only 20 words per min, lol!
Thanks to your little practice app, I have started to type a tad better, and now have a bit more confidence in writing my school assignment on this new thing.
Thanks so much for posting this up! You made my day today! :)

Nice little bit of typing practice!
