TypeBattle

10 enemies, all of them counting down at once. Type the word on one and it's gone. Let any countdown finish and so are you.

A battlefield where the whole field is live from the first second. 5 tanks and 5 soldiers, each carrying a word and a timer, across 14 levels. Free to play, and every level cleared pays 500 TL Coins.

The game

Unlike a wave-based game, nothing here arrives gradually — all 10 enemies are on screen and ticking from the moment the level starts. The countdown is tighter on the later levels, and since any single enemy firing ends the run, you can't simply work left to right. You have to read the field, take the most urgent target, and keep doing that while the words get longer.

The progression is the same rule throughout: level N uses N-letter words. Level 1 is single letters, level 2 is pairs, and it climbs from there — so the difficulty comes from the words getting longer, not from anything getting unfair.

How to play

  1. 01

    Survey the field

    All 10 enemies appear at once, each with a word and a countdown already running. Take a beat to see which is closest to firing.

  2. 02

    Type to destroy

    Typing an enemy's word removes it instantly. There's no aiming and no selecting — the word you type is the target you hit.

  3. 03

    Watch the countdowns

    Any enemy reaching zero ends the level. The ones about to fire matter more than the ones with a short word, which is the whole tension of the game.

  4. 04

    Clear the field

    Destroy all 10 and the level is yours — 500 TL Coins, a Journey level, and the next level with words one letter longer.

Desktop only

The typing games need a physical keyboard, so they don't run on phones or tablets. Everything else on TypeLords — practice, tests, the academy, contests — works fine on mobile.

What it trains

Prioritising while typing. Every other typing exercise hands you the next word; here you choose it, under time pressure, from ten options that are all getting more urgent. That splits your attention between reading the field and typing accurately, and holding both at once is a genuinely different skill from typing a passage.

It maps closely to real work that isn't prose — filling a form, working a queue, entering data from a page where you decide what to type next and in what order. Those tasks are where people's practice speed evaporates, because the choosing costs time that a passage test never measures.

Worth knowing

A game builds volume, not diagnosis. It can't tell you which keys are costing you time — only whether the word got typed.

When you want to know what's actually slowing you down, TypePractice reports accuracy and consistency after every run.

TypeBattle, answered

How do you play TypeBattle?

10 enemies hold the field — 5 tanks and 5 soldiers — and each carries a word and a countdown. Type an enemy's word to destroy it. If any countdown reaches zero before you clear the field, the level is lost.

  • Every enemy is live at once, so you choose the order yourself.
  • Typing an enemy's word destroys it immediately.
  • One enemy firing ends the run — there's no partial survival.
  • Everything is keyboard; the mouse is never used.
How many levels does TypeBattle have?

14 levels, cleared in order. Level N uses N-letter words, so level 1 is single letters and level 14 is 14-letter words — the enemies stay the same, the words get harder.

  • Levels 1 and 2 are single letters and pairs, which is pure key location.
  • From level 3 words come from a curated bank at exactly that length.
  • The countdown also tightens as levels progress.
  • You can't skip ahead — the next level unlocks only when the current one clears.
What is the difference between the tanks and the soldiers?

Each level fields 5 of each, and they occupy the battlefield differently — which matters because the challenge is deciding what to take first rather than typing any one word quickly.

  • 5 tanks and 5 soldiers, 10 enemies in total.
  • All of them are live simultaneously from the start of the level.
  • Any single enemy reaching zero ends the run, so nothing can be ignored.
  • Reading which countdown is closest is as much of the skill as the typing.
Do you earn TL Coins in TypeBattle?

Yes — 500 TL Coins for each level cleared, plus a Journey level. Coins are the in-game currency for contest tickets and duel stakes, so arcade time funds arena time.

  • 500 TL Coins per level cleared.
  • Each clear also advances your Journey rank.
  • Coins work anywhere on TypeLords — TypeWars, TypeLegends, TypeH2H.
  • Replaying a level you've already beaten doesn't pay again.
Does TypeBattle work on mobile?

No — it needs a physical keyboard, so it's desktop and laptop only. All three TypeLords games are the same; the rest of the platform works on a phone.

  • Touch typing on glass can't keep up with ten simultaneous countdowns.
  • Any desktop or laptop browser works, with nothing to install.
  • TypePractice, TypeTest and the contests are all mobile-friendly.
  • On a phone, TypePractice is the nearest equivalent.
