Games & Features

What games are available?

Currently, BrowserGames features typing games including:

• Speed Typing Challenge - Type South African phrases as fast as you can
• WPM Test - Test your words-per-minute in a 60-second challenge

New games are added regularly. Check our Games page or Categories to see all available games.

How is my typing speed (WPM) calculated?

WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by counting all characters typed correctly, dividing by 5 (the standard word length), and then dividing by the time elapsed in minutes. This is the industry-standard method for measuring typing speed.

Are my scores saved?

Game scores and progress are saved locally in your browser. This means your data stays on your device and isn't sent to any server. However, clearing your browser data will erase saved scores.

My scores disappeared. What happened?

Scores are stored in your browser's local storage. They can be lost if you:

• Clear your browser cache or data
• Use a different browser or device
• Use private/incognito mode
• Have browser settings that clear data automatically

Technical Issues

A game isn't loading. What should I do?

Try these steps:

• Refresh the page
• Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser
• Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
• Check your internet connection
• Disable browser extensions that might interfere

If the problem continues, please contact us with details about the issue.

The typing game feels laggy. How can I fix it?

Typing game performance can be affected by:

• Too many browser tabs open - try closing unused tabs
• Browser extensions - try disabling them temporarily

• Slow internet - though our games work mostly offline once loaded
