Question 1

What is TypeLords?

Accepted Answer

TypeLords is a global typing arena. One platform to learn typing, practice, take tests, earn verifiable certifications, and battle the world in live contests. Seven activities under one roof: TypeWars (hourly contests), TypeLegends (daily contests), TypeTest (graded certificates), TypeAcademy (learn touch-typing), TypeCareers (career-specific tracks), TypePractice (targeted drills), and TypeH2H (one-on-one duels).

Question 2

Is TypeLords free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Signing up is free, and the core of every activity is free. TypeLords includes optional paid stage unlocks inside the Journey progression — beyond a certain level, you can unlock the next stage range. Everything you need to learn, practice, test, and compete remains available at no cost.

Question 3

How does TypeWars work?

Accepted Answer

TypeWars is a global hourly typing contest. Every hour, on the hour, the same 60-second passage drops worldwide. You get three attempts inside that hour. When the hour ends, global and country rankings are published with TL Coin rewards for top finishers and certificates for the top global winner of every hour.

Question 4

How does TypeLegends work?

Accepted Answer

TypeLegends is a global daily typing contest. One passage runs across a 24-hour window. You get three attempts during that day. At day's end, global and country leaderboards finalize with mega TL Coin rewards and verifiable certificates for top finishers. Same architecture as TypeWars, longer window, bigger stakes.

Question 5

What is TypeTest?

Accepted Answer

TypeTest is a graded typing test that issues a verifiable certificate. Take a 60-second test with cold-start unfamiliar text. Your net WPM and accuracy convert into a letter grade (A+ down to F). The certificate lives on a public verifiable URL that anyone — recruiter, employer, friend — can check.

Question 6

What are TL Coins?

Accepted Answer

TL Coins are the in-platform reward currency. You earn one coin per correct keystroke and lose one per incorrect keystroke (floor at zero) across every activity. Contest winners get bonus pots. The balance is permanent, tied to your account, and visible on your console.

Question 7

What is the TypeLords Journey?

Accepted Answer

The Journey is the progression system. Seven ranks from Noob to Immortal, each containing 100 levels. Every completed activity (Practice, Test, contest run) advances your level. First 20 levels per stage are free; stages 21-100 require a one-time stage unlock. Each rank reached awards a fixed TL Coin bonus.

Question 8

How do I earn a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Three paths. TypeTest issues graded certificates (A+ down to F) on completion. TypeWars hourly contests award a winner certificate to the global top finisher of each hour. TypeLegends daily contests award certificates to top global finishers. All certificates have public verifiable URLs anyone can check.

Question 9

What counts as cheating?

Accepted Answer

Voice-to-text dictation, paste, scripted input, autocomplete bars, OCR-assisted typing, multi-accounting, account transfer, and any synthetic input event. Practicing on memorized passages outside live contests is fine. The anti-cheat system captures keystroke timing patterns and flags suspicious runs for review.

Question 10

How does the referral program work?

Accepted Answer

Both you and the person you refer get 250 TL Coins when they sign up using your link. The referral cookie lasts 60 days. Find your referral link inside the Console under Referrals. Self-referrals, farms, rings, and paid promotion don't count and may reverse the bonus.
