Lexivore

Word-carrying creatures advance from the top of the arena toward your base. Type the letters of the closest matching word to chip away at it; finish the word to destroy the creature. A mistype reshuffles that word's tail and makes the swarm grow. Lose all your lives and it's over.

• Start typing, letters lock onto the nearest matching creature
• Complete a word to blast the creature carrying it
• Avoid typos: each one reshuffles the word and feeds the swarm
• Survive the waves and rack up kills for a high score

• Desktop: type letters to attack; no mouse needed
• Phone & tablet: a physical keyboard is recommended for this fast typing game

• Clear the lowest, closest creature first, it's the one about to breach your base
• Accuracy keeps the swarm small; panicking and mistyping only makes the wave heavier
• Daily gives a shared seeded swarm; Practice rolls a new one each run

Lexivore is a real-time typing arcade where accuracy is your only weapon, building speed and precision under pressure.

• Skills: typing speed and accuracy, word recognition, focus
• Best for: roughly grades 4–12 (ages 9+)
• For parents & teachers: speed and accuracy under arcade pressure.

Typing the closest matching word to chip away at an advancing creature is the typing defence game, where the queue chooses itself.

Having to pick the nearest target rather than typing a prompt is the original wrinkle.

Choosing the word is a separate load from typing it. Most typing tests supply the text, so the eyes simply follow; here you must scan, decide and then type, which is closer to composing at a keyboard than to transcription.
