Cat Typing Race
Cat Typing Race is a free browser typing duel you can play without an account or install. Press Play to load the ~28 KB canvas engine in a same-origin iframe, then race an AI cat by pressing keyboard letters to match the highlighted letter before it does. Nothing leaves this device except the initial page and game files from this site.
Controls
- Press keyboard letter keys A-Z to match the highlighted letter before the AI cat.
- Press J to advance the tutorial and level-dialog overlays.
- Press M inside the game to toggle the background music on or off.
How the race works
There are ten levels, each with three rounds, and the letter count grows as you climb (up to ten letters per round). You win a round by finishing your letters fastest with at least half of them correct, which earns a round-winner bonus. Bomb, rocket, and snowflake perks appear along the way to swing the score, so weigh whether to grab or dodge each one; clear level ten to reach the results screen.
