A falling-block puzzle you solve by typing

Word Stack mixes a falling-block puzzle with typing practice. Word bricks drop into five columns, and every word you type clears its brick so the ones above slide down. Watch the tallest column: the stack ends the game when it reaches the dashed red line.

Because any visible brick can be typed, you're always choosing which word to tackle next. That small bit of planning keeps your eyes moving ahead of your fingers, which is exactly the habit that makes real typing faster.
