Pick your level
Click the words that look wrong to you. If you are right, the word is fixed on the spot; if not, you lose a few seconds.
One round, one text drawn at random.
An email read three times still holds a mistake on average. It is not you: when you proofread, your brain reads what you meant to write.
Why your own mistakes are invisible to you
When you proofread yourself, you are not reading what is on the page: you are reading what you meant to write. Your brain already knows the sentence, so it skips over the words and only takes in the meaning. That is exactly why a typo jumps out at you in a colleague’s text and stays invisible in your own, even after three passes.
And the eye tires fast
In this game you are hunting a handful of mistakes in ten lines, knowing they are there. On a real day you write thirty messages without looking for anything, between two meetings and a notification. The score drops by itself.
