Qwerty Warriors 2

Very much like Qwerty Wars but with all the annoyances removed! No longer do you have to press enter after each word, no more words obscuring other words and now all the words drop from the top allowing easy reading on the way down. When you start typing a word it appears in the status bar showing you how many of the letters you've hit so far. You get a multiplier increase each time you type a word without making a mistake, but obviously if you take too long then you start to lose health.
I'd advise against using the 'easy' level because it really is easy! Great help if you're learning to touch type.

FreeRice

This is quite a simple game: you are given a word and have to pick the correct definition, if you get it right you score 10, otherwise you score 0, repeat ad infinitum. However for each point you score the FreeRice people donate a grain of rice to third world countries.
The game tracks how verbose you are too and assigns you a different difficulty of word depending on your past ability. Each time you get three answers in a row right you go up a level, each time you get an answer wrong you go down a level (nb. this only kicks in after you've answered a few questions). My average level was about 29/30, and my maximum level reached was 37. The difficulty of each word is determined by how many people got it right and wrong, and so may change over time too.
The rice is paid for by the advertising on the site, and is donated to third world countries via the United Nations World Food Program.

Weboggle

Play Boggle against people from around the world and try to get to the top of the score board. If you don't know how to play Boggle already then you should look at the Wikipedia page on it.

Have fun!
 

TyperA

After a recent conversation I realised there is a need for people to be able to type faster. This will improve efficiency not just in essays and emails, but also in other mediums such as MSN. How good would it be to boost the amount of procrastination you could do per hour, without it taking any extra time!
Apparently I type at about 44 words per minute, although I made nine mistakes when doing it. This is much better than QWERTY Wars (which was recently posted on here) for training typing skills, because you don't need to hit enter after every word.

Qwerty Wars

The aim of this game is to stay alive as long as possible, which you do by shooting the alien type things. You shoot the alien/robot things by typing the words underneath them. As the game progresses the enemies attack more frequently, get larger and have longer words words beneath them. You can shoot the 'FullHealth' crates to be returned to 100 health, and shoot the 'Detonate' crates to destroy all the enemies on the screen.
If you can't touch type yet then this might be one way to learn!
