About Writers

Writers is a game where you play as a writer and try to be the first in typing random excerpts from the book. Fight against your friends or players around the world, make your way to the top and show them speed you are capable of. Become a member of Writer's club and master all language leagues!

Features

  • 8 Game Modes. Do you want to take a duel with your friend? Type a random text or master a daily fixed excerpt? Or maybe Numbers? Choose your way from eight game modes: Duel, Duel Hard, Classic, Fixed, Marathon, Unmistakable, Unmistakable Hard, Numbers.
  • Language Leagues. You can choose the language you want to type. Now there are two leagues: English and Russian.
  • 22 unlockable characters. You can choose from 22 (or maybe there is more?) characters to become the fastest writer. But you have to try hard to unlock them all.
  • Stats and Achievements. Each language league has its own statistic and leaderboards. You can watch the information about your CPM, Mistakes and other stats.
  • Improve your typing skills. To win you will have to type without looking on the keyboard. Playing regularly you will be able to use Touch typing technic to be even faster. Then you can use it at your work, study. And, of course, at furious battles in comments. :)

Become a Writer and be the first to finish next masterpiece!

Not sure if it helps me type faster but it's sure fun.

I enjoy this game, played around 5 hours so far. It is very challenging, I find a little frustration with the input, I seem to make more mistakes here than I do places such as typeracer or 10fastfingers. I do however have one suggestion that would make gameplay better, since it's arranged where we read from a paragraph and enter 1 word at a time when we type, if you could make "ctrl+a" available to highlight the word incase we make a mistake, so that we can just re-type the word instead of having to press Backspace 5x or 6x times in order to correct our mistake, this would be more realistic (since in reality in messengers, writing in notepad, or even on web pages, we can hold Ctrl and press backspace to erase entire words and type them again, and in typeracer and 10fastfingers we are allowed to press "Ctrl+A" to highlight the entire word and re-type a new one instead of using the dreaded and practically useless Backspace. The only time I would prefer using the backspace is if I have made a mistake at the end of a word, in which case, it would make sense to backspace the final 1, 2, or 3 letters instead of highlighting an eight character word just to re-type all 8 characters. I type…

This takes me back to the days of typing class in high school, and to the sounds of students clacking away on keyboards, cursing over misspelled words as our professors breathed down our necks, while the clock slowly ticked down the hour of our lives trapped there... If you don't mind anxiety, then it's a good way to pass the time and practice on your writing.

A really fun typing game that I wish would still get updated (last one in 2017). I would love to see more language options and more literary extracts, not just of British or American literature, but of other countries as well. Expand thy literature culture! Maybe have a workshop where people can add their texts to download, that would lighten the workload for the devs. Multiplayer is pretty much dead, maybe have an option to play against someone but not in real time, and seeing the results when both parties have played their turn. It's a shame I can't unlock the characters that require winning multiplayer matches when there's no one playing. And it would be nice to have some female characters seeing as there are none at all [spoiler](you have, however, Cthulhu and a cow hm)[/spoiler]. Other than that, I love playing this little game once in a while to test my typing skills (got an average of 380~ CPM) and I enjoy reading the excerpts even if I've never read the books. Hope the devs can add more stuff to this soon as there is still a lot of potential!
