About the game
Word Pluck is a typing game with a simple idea: it rains letters. A word is shown as a loose cluster of circles, one letter each, drifting down the screen, and you have to type those letters in the right order before they fall out of reach. Each correct key plucks a letter and plays a small sound; each wrong key counts against your accuracy. Finish the word and the next one starts to fall.
The words are plain English, from short three-letter words in the first levels to long ones later on, and the speed goes up with each level. There is no end except the one you cause by letting the letters reach the bottom, so the game is about getting as far as you can and watching your numbers: score, level, how many words you have typed, your accuracy and your speed in words per minute.
Playing it here
Click Play, then press the start button inside the game. Start typing when the first word appears. You can use the keyboard only; there is nothing to click once the game is running. Press Space whenever you need a break, and Space again to carry on.
Tips shows the next word before it starts to fall, which gives you time to get ready but takes a little off your score. The Sound box on the right turns the sound effect off if you are playing somewhere quiet. Both settings are remembered in your browser.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Letter keys | type the letters of the falling word, in order |
| Space | pause and resume |
| Tips box | show the next word in advance (a little less score) |
| Sound box | turn the sound on or off |
A few things worth knowing
Look at the word, not the keys. Letters you press that do not match the next one in line are counted as mistakes, so mashing the keyboard hurts your accuracy.
Use the pause. The clock stops when you press Space, so it is a good way to rest your hands between words.
It needs a physical keyboard. On a phone or tablet without one you will not be able to play.
