On the Subject of Type Racer
Increase your typing speed while racing against others... or in this case, racing against the bomb.
Use the row of the ‘A’ key and the letters within that row to get a letter-number coordinate.
Use that letter number coordinate as an index into the table on the last page to determine a word that must be typed on the keyboard.
Press the green button to start the timer, then type your word. Press the red button to delete one letter from your input.
Every time a letter is typed, the letters on the keys will randomly shuffle.
Failure to type your word in time will result in a strike, in which a new word must be calculated.
