TermType is a terminal-based typing game where falling words must be typed before reaching the bottom, featuring multiple gameplay modes including Vocab, Story, and Hacker News. It combines retro arcade mechanics with productivity-oriented typing practice, and is interesting for its polished terminal UI, cross-platform support, and emphasis on privacy with no telemetry.
