Krazy Keyboard

Krazy Keyboard challenges your memory as well as your ability to stay focused under pressure. You're presented with a "word" consisting of a string of five letters selected at random that you need to type out within 2 minutes. Sounds easy? The problem is that the keyboard is rearranged randomly each time you play so you don't know where the keys are: the "Q" key may be changed to the "F", the "W" to "N", etc.
Once you've succeeded in typing out in a single word, you can try to type 2 words within 4 minutes, 3 within 6 minutes, etc., up to 10 words within 20 minutes.
All this is at the Beginner level. After you've gotten past Beginner, you can try out Intermediate, which gives you only 90 seconds per word, then Expert for 60 seconds a word and finally the Master level, where you only get 45 seconds per word. And if you're really up for a challenge, try increasing the word length from the minimum of five up all the way up to ten.
By checking the
Order important:
checkbox, the app will require that the order of the letters in the word you type out match that of the presented word; in other words, you must type in the word exactly as shown. With the box unchecked, you may enter the letters in any order and after you've entered all the correct letters, the app will rearrange them into the proper order.
