Tips & strategy
- Clear the lowest word first — it's closest to the bottom and the biggest threat.
- Once you're locked on, finish that word before switching; stray keys do nothing useful.
- Accuracy beats speed — a wrong key wastes the moment you had to fire.
- Longer words are worth more points, so don't ignore them when you have time.
Frequently asked questions
Is ZType a typing trainer?
Yes — it's a genuinely fun way to drill typing speed and accuracy under a little pressure, dressed up as a shooter.
How do I switch targets?
Finish or clear your current word; the first letter you type then locks onto a new enemy that starts with it.
How is my score tracked?
Your record is the highest score — longer words destroyed are worth more — saved in your browser.
