How to play

Read ahead, remember the covered letters, and type your way to the end.

1. Choose a passage

Pick English or Korean, then click the passage and type what you see. Correct letters disappear and the remaining text moves forward. Finish the whole passage to complete a round. Restart tries the same text again; Next passage gives you a different one.

2. Read a little ahead

Slow typing makes the letters fade. Fast, accurate typing brings them back into focus, but also grows a gray cover over the next letters. Try to remember a few words before they move underneath it. Stopping makes the cover shrink, but the text may fade further when you start typing again.

3. Earn points and fix mistakes

A longer cover means more points for each correct letter. A mistake takes away 30% of your current score and makes the cover short again. The amount lost is rounded up: at 101 points, you lose 31. Use Backspace to remove a wrong letter. Under the original rules, deleting it also costs points.

4. Play solo or race someone

Solo has no time limit. In a 1:1 match, you and your opponent type the same passage in the same language. The first to finish wins. Leaving counts as a forfeit, and a match lasts at most 15 minutes. The live pace reflects your recent inputs; your solo result shows your average speed for the round.
