Common questions
FAQCan I play if I am a slow typist?
Yes, anyone can join a match. Because blocks are tied directly to speed, slower typists will earn fewer blocks than faster opponents. Playing in a private server with friends is a relaxed way to enjoy it without the pressure of a full competitive lobby.
Does it cost anything to create a private server?
No — private servers in Spelling Race are completely free.
