Launched on September 8, 2011, Nitro Type is a free online game developed by Austin Butler of Teaching.com. It was taken out of beta in January 2012. Through real-time online competition with other players, Nitro helps make typing on a keyboard enjoyable. Playing Nitro Enter, you control a race car that moves only when you enter the text on the screen properly. 

Depending on your finish position, WPM, and accuracy, you receive experience and Nitro Cash (money) after finishing a race. Gaining this information levels your racer and allows you to receive special season bonuses. You can buy new cars, trails, stickers, and titles that you can personalize in your garage with the Nitro Cash you earn.

How to race in Nitro Type

Nitro-type races start with a few seconds to get set up and connect with other racers using stickers. Once the race counts down to “GO,” type the text precisely as indicated in the bottom-center box. A red alert appears when you type incorrectly. Instead of using Backspace, type the right character to fix the problem. If you typed “Example” with a lowercase “e,” the “E” would be highlighted in red. Type an uppercase “E” and finish the word to fix it.

What are Nitros?

The driver of a Nitro car can use the one Nitro they are allocated each race by pressing Enter. The racer moves past the word at hand when Enter is hit. Racers can finish races faster and bypass lengthy statements with the Nitro.

Why don’t I win even though my acc or WPM is higher?

To choose the winner, Nitro just considers the overall time it takes to finish the race. Not accuracy or WPM decides who wins.

How do I lose if we tie?

You can have the same time as the other person and yet lose the match, as the image below demonstrates. This is not indicated in the results; you either won or lost by a thousandth of a second.

Why did I get a disqualification?

In racing, any of the following could result in your disqualification.

• You lose web access.
• Your computer’s and the server’s Internet connection is lost.
• There is no typing being detected by the game.
• Extra game bugs.

Nitro Type racing tips

Please find below some Nitro racing advice.

• Look at the screen just.
• Putting accuracy first always comes before WPM.
• Find the longest or trickiest words before the race begins, and conserve your Nitro for those.
• Ignore your race position and the race cars; concentrate on the words you are typing.
• Turn down the Nitro sound effects and music and use your own. Click the icons in the race window’s upper-left corner to mute these options.
