Memory sprint
A sentence shows for a few seconds, then hides. Type it from memory, exactly.
- 10 sentences a round, one at a time.
- Each one shows for three seconds, plus a second for every 20 characters.
- Then it hides and bars show only the length of each word.
- Type it and press Enter. It counts if every character matches, punctuation and capitals included.
Bars show word lengths only. Press Enter when you're done.

Type from memory, not from sight
Memory sprint asks you to hold a whole sentence in your head and get it onto the screen without looking back. Each sentence appears for a few seconds, long enough to read it once with care, then it disappears. All you keep is a row of bars, one per word, showing how long each word was. Type it out and press Enter; it counts only if every letter, capital and full stop matches.
It sounds like a memory test, and partly it is, but the real skill it trains is reading in chunks. Fast typists do not type letter by letter from the text: they read a phrase ahead, hold it, and let their fingers catch up. Memory sprint makes that buffer the whole game. If you find yourself losing the end of longer sentences, you are learning exactly where your chunks run out.
Scoring
A round is ten sentences from the same phrase bank as the sentence typing test, and your score is how many you typed exactly right. Extra spaces and curly or straight quotes are forgiven; everything else counts. Longer sentences get more reading time, three seconds plus one for every twenty characters, so they stay fair. After each sentence you see the original next to what you typed, and the round ends with the full list.
Records
Your best round is kept in this browser and shown on the games page. A round counts toward your daily streak, but it never changes your personal bests from typing tests. Memory sprint works on phones as well as computers, since the text box takes any keyboard.
