How Live Typing Races Work
Unlike solo typing tests that only measure your comfortable cadence, multiplayer typing races test your psychological composure, visual look-ahead, and rhythm under real-time competitive pressure.
RaccoonType uses an ultra-low latency WebSocket architecture with server-authoritative countdown timers. Every participant receives the synchronized start signal down to the millisecond, eliminating any unfair head-starts or client-side tampering.
- Instant party creation: Generate a 4-character code or copy a 1-click shareable link
- Live racer avatars: Watch opponents progress across the track with real-time WPM gauges
- Diverse match types: Words, famous quotes, custom text, or code snippets in 11 languages
- Instant rematches: Keep your party in the same room across multi-round race sessions
Official Race Rules & Finish Criteria
RaccoonType adheres to the standardized International Contest Rules (ICR) for competitive typing racing:
- 100% Text Completion: A race only finishes when all words in the prompt are completed cleanly.
- Finish Order Priority: First typist to cleanly submit the final keystroke claims 1st place.
- Net WPM Scoring: Final speed accounts for uncorrected errors and backspace correction overhead.
- Coin & XP Bounties: Earn spendable coins and progression XP based on placement and accuracy.
