Precision Bonus System
Master your typing precision with the new streak bonus system! Build consecutive perfect words to earn bonus points - 1% of your base score for each perfect word after the 5th. No caps, so longer streaks always pay off more. Want distraction-free typing? Toggle off the streak counter in UI settings while still earning the bonus. Perfect for players who want the scoring benefits without the visual pressure. See exactly where your points come from with the new score breakdown in game over results!
