Play ZType right here — the free, fast word-shooter typing game. Waves of ships fly toward you, each labelled with a word; type a word to lock on and fire, clearing it before it reaches your ship. It is one of the most fun ways to push your typing speed under real pressure, and it loads right on this page.
ZType is made by Dominic Szablewski and lives at zty.pe. We embed it here so you can jump straight in alongside our own typing games.
Your data never reaches us
Nifty Utilities has no backend server, database, user accounts, or endpoint capable of receiving your tool inputs. Files and entries are processed inside your browser. We cannot view, capture, or store them.
How to play
Just start typing. Type the first letter of any incoming word to lock your aim onto it, then type the rest of the word to blast that ship out of the sky. Clear each wave before the ships reach you. There is nothing to install and no mouse required — it is pure keyboard.
What it trains
ZType is a superb workout for typing whole words quickly and accurately while your attention is split across a moving screen — the same skill you use when typing fast in the real world. Because you choose which word to attack, it also trains quick word recognition and target-switching, which sharpens both speed and focus.
More typing games from us
If you enjoy ZType, our own Word Cannon has a similar type-to-shoot feel, while Falling Letters and Key Trainer build the key-location basics. When you want to measure your progress, try the typing speed test.
