How to Play

  • Smash words one letter at a time with your super-powerful hammer.
  • Press the highlighted letter of the currently displayed word to make a 'Smash' and proceed to the next character.
  • Observe smashed letters shattering with real-world physics and rotation.
  • Finish off the word to earn a 'Victory' sound effect and advance to the next, more challenging word.
  • Keep up a consistent rhythm of smashing to increase your combo score.
  • Successfully smash all words on the board to achieve 'LEVEL CLEARED' status and access your stats.

Pro Tips

  • Your hammer automatically locks onto the targeted letter—you should focus entirely on the letters themselves to keep your smashing spree going at full speed.
  • Getting combo points is crucial—each successful smash will be worth 10 + (current combo x 2) points.
  • Remember the low, deep 'Thud' sound of the hammer. You can use that to time your keystrokes better and stay in rhythm.
  • A longer word equals a larger potential for combo points—but you will need more focus and accuracy to pull it off successfully.
  • Each mistake will cause the word to shake and your combo streak to be reset. Accuracy is key.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the combo scoring system work?

For every hit letter, your score increases by 10 base points plus 2 times your current combo. In other words, the deeper you get in your combo chain, the faster your score goes up.

What happens after I complete a word?

After you successfully smash any word, there's a brief celebration before a new word is generated for you to destroy. This word will typically be longer than its predecessor.

Why does the way the letters shatter vary from time to time?

There's a physics particle system powering Type Smash's visuals. Each smashed letter gets a randomized rotation and downward speed.

Can I control which word to smash next?

The word list is pre-defined and ordered by increasing difficulty. The order of smashing is predetermined from start to finish—usually from a few letters to some very complex words.

What does 'WPM' stand for in this game?

WPM stands for Words Per Minute and is the rate of your smashing speed calculated by your total input characters.
