Wordpull (Yuki Games)
Type words to win a tug-of-war against a computer typist, with one shared three-duel gauntlet a day.
Every day: A numbered Daily Gauntlet: three typing duels against computer opponents of rising speed, with the same seeded word stream for every player and no retries. New puzzle: Midnight in your local time.
Wordpull is a typing game set up as a tug-of-war. You and a computer typist pull a rope from opposite ends, and every word you type drags the knot your way, with longer words pulling harder. Once a day everyone plays the same Daily Gauntlet of three duels, and there is also an endless ladder of ever faster opponents.
About Wordpull (Yuki Games)
Wordpull is a free browser game from Yuki Games, a small collection of daily puzzles credited to Yuki Andersen. It needs no signup and has no ads.
A rope runs across the screen with a knot in the middle, and three word cards sit below it. You start typing any of them, and the first letter picks the card. Finishing a word yanks the knot toward your side, and longer words pull harder but take more time. Typing words with no mistakes builds Heat, which multiplies your pull up to 1.75 times, while a typo drops it to zero. Drag the knot past your line to win; if a duel runs long, the lines creep inward so it always ends.
The Daily Gauntlet is the same for everyone: three duels in a row against opponents at levels 2, 5 and 8, using a seeded word stream, with no retries. Your result is the number of duels won plus your average words per minute, shared as a numbered line such as Word Pull Daily #12. The results screen shows how many people finished in the last day, the best average speed and your rank, and a calendar strip tracks your streak.
Outside the daily there is an endless ladder that starts at a slow hunt-and-peck typist and adds about 7 WPM per level. It suits anyone who wants daily typing practice that rewards accuracy as much as speed; it plays best with a physical keyboard.

- Open Wordpull and start today's Daily Gauntlet.
