About Typing Stars

Typing Stars turns learning the keyboard into a starry arcade challenge. Glowing letter-stars drift down from the top of the screen — press the matching key (or tap the star) to zap it before it reaches the bottom. Miss too many and the round ends. The stars fall faster as your score climbs, making it a fun and sneaky way to build typing speed and letter recognition.

Typing Stars is one of our free words & letters games for kids — play it right here in your browser, or browse all our free online games.

How to Play

• Watch the letter-stars fall from the top.
• Press the matching letter key on your keyboard to pop a star.
• On a touch screen, tap a star to pop it instead.
• Don't let three stars slip past the bottom, or the game ends.

Tips & Tricks

• Keep your fingers resting on the keyboard, ready to type.
• Pop the lowest stars first — they're closest to falling.
• Stay calm as the speed increases.
