Seasons Are Coming to NerdType!
Get ready, seasons are coming to NerdType! We plan to launch 4–6 seasons each year, bringing fresh competition and new challenges. At the end of every season, the global scoreboard will reset, and the top typist will be crowned with the Rank 1 title. Think you've got what it takes to claim the throne? Stay tuned, more information is coming soon!
Custom Cursor Themes Available
Visual Update: You can now use a custom cursor! Choose from Orange, Green, Purple, or stick with the default cursor theme in the settings panel. Each theme includes custom pixel art cursors for arrows and pointers!
Customizable Font Selection Added
New feature: We've added customizable font selection to the game interface! Choose from four premium Nerd Fonts in the settings panel to find your perfect typing experience. Your font preference is saved automatically and only affects the game area. If you have a font (Nerd Fonts) suggestion, contact us through the Contact page.
Privacy First: New Privacy Toggle
Privacy First: New privacy toggle in Settings allows you
to opt out of data collection entirely. When disabled,
all your game data stays local on your device and
nothing is sent to our servers. Your choice, your data,
your privacy. Toggle it anytime with the new "Share game
data for leaderboards" setting or use the
/data command during
gameplay. Privacy-conscious nerds, this one's for you!
Global Leaderboards Are Now Live!
Major Update: Global Leaderboards are now live! Compete with typists from around the world and see where your skills rank. Your scores are now automatically submitted to a global database, creating real-time competitive rankings. View the top 20 performers worldwide, filter by game mode (Classic, Custom), and track total games played across the community. Visit the new Global Scoreboard to see how you measure up against the fastest fingers on the planet. Ready to claim your spot in typing history, nerds?
Streamlined Word Set Selection
UI Update: We've streamlined the word set selection! The word set selector has been moved from the game area into the settings panel for better organization. Access all word sets (English, Finnish, Swedish, Programming, Nightmare) through the settings panel or with the /lang quick command.
Keypress Sounds Added
New feature: We've added satisfying keypress sounds to enhance your typing experience. Each keystroke now produces a subtle audio feedback that helps you maintain rhythm and flow during intense typing sessions. The feature is fully customizable - toggle it on/off in the settings panel or use the quick command /sound during gameplay. Whether you prefer the zen silence or the tactile satisfaction of audio feedback, the choice is yours, nerds!
Space Between Words Feature
New feature: We've added a more realistic typing experience with an optional space-after-word setting. Toggle this feature in the settings menu to practice typing spaces between words, just like in real-world typing. This helps build proper typing habits and gives more accurate WPM measurements. The choice is yours: traditional word-by-word mode or the complete typing experience with spaces. Which will you master first, nerd?
