How the typing tower works
You always have one target word. Type it letter by letter; every correct stroke adds score and builds your combo. Completing the word climbs you one floor on a 20-story tower toward a clear win condition.
A wrong letter costs points, resets your combo, and pushes you downward. The farther your combo stretches, the harder each mistake hits because you slip multiple floors at once - an arcade risk/reward knob that keeps retries short and dramatic.
Pick Easy or Hard before you start. Easy is more forgiving with seven mistakes and gentler falls; Hard keeps the higher-stakes five-mistake climb. Desktop Escape pauses, while touch players tap generously sized letter buttons anchored at the bottom instead of spawning the OS keyboard.
What makes this typing game different
Tower progress replaces WPM
The goal is not a raw typing test. Each word is a step upward, and the 20-floor target gives every run a visible finish line.
Risk builds with combo
Clean streaks score better, but mistakes after a hot combo can drop more floors. That makes accuracy and speed matter at the same time.
Easy and Hard routes
Easy mode gives more mistakes and gentler falls for learning. Hard keeps the sharper arcade punishment for replay attempts.
Tips for better scores
- Read the whole word before the first key so your combo does not break on the second or third letter.
- On Hard, slow down after long streaks; one typo can cost multiple floors.
- On mobile, use the tap-letter pad rhythmically instead of chasing the system keyboard.
FAQ
Why call it Typing Tower?
The core action is clear: you climb a tower by typing words. Hard mode keeps the dramatic one-slip punishment for players who want that pressure, while Easy mode lets newer players learn the loop first.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. Phones default to chunky tap-letter keys that refresh each word; no external audio files ship with the MVP thanks to synthesized Web Audio blips triggered only when sound is enabled.
Do you store what I typed?
No accounts and no keystroke telemetry in this build - only anonymous local totals like best scores and mute.
What does winning reward?
Clearing floor 20 adds a completion bonus that shrinks as your elapsed time grows: fast clears earn bigger bonuses, which keeps speedrunners hunting cleaner lines without turning the page into a spreadsheet.
Can I share my score?
The results card includes share text that favors the native Web Share API where available, with clipboard fallback.
