A subgenre to EdutainmentGame, here you have to type in letters, words, or even whole sentences. Doing so may be needed to make some action occur, like killing an enemy or collecting an item, but it may just be a minigame in a regular game with some kind of reward for performing well. Generally, these kinds of games are intended to help increase your typing speed and bolster your vocabulary.
Note that this does not apply to games where you just type in names or objects, like those under HelloInsertNameHere, {{Adventure Game}}s with a TextParser, and ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}''. This is when the typing part is the main gameplay mechanic and requires speed and/or accuracy from the player for optimal performance.

!!Games dedicated to typing:
* ''VideoGame/AllTheRightType'' is a series of educational typing games. It is a mix of lessons and themed minigames, such as acting as an air traffic controller or keeping a spaceship from crashing.
* ''Backspace Bouken'' has enemy encounters which require typing their given lines. However, the supply of spaces is finite, and they need to be retrieved from signs scattered throughout the dungeon.
* ''VideoGame/{{Clockwords}}'' uses words you type in to deal damage to bugs.
* ''VideoGame/DavidLynchTeachesTyping'': A parody game where an on-screen Creator/DavidLynch ostensibly teaches you how to type, with the familiar hands over the keyboard graphic, but things get surreal.
* ''VideoGame/EpistoryTypingChronicles'': As the girl riding a nine-tailed fox traverses the world, she encounters various entities. They have words on them, and typing those words causes the girl to target them (killing them in the case of hostile creatures).
* There's a typing game for ''Anime/FistOfTheNorthStar'' that adapts the events of the third and fourth seasons from the perspectives of Kenshiro and Raoh- while also continuing to feature the gore the series is known for.
* ''VideoGame/FuckTyping'' has the player type in a flaming discourse like "You're a shitty granny smoker!" before the computer does.
* ''VideoGame/IcarusProudbottomTeachesTyping'' parodies the genre, purporting itself as an educational title despite not teaching the player anything. It was made for the Website/SomethingAwful [=GameDev=] Competition VIII, where the theme was "subversive edutainment", and received a follow-up, ''Icarus Proudbottom's World of Typing Weekly'', which combines typing with a murder mystery game.
* ''VideoGame/JumpStart'': Among the various games in the franchise is ''Jump Start Typing'' where Botley and Polly from ''VideoGame/JumpStartAdventures3rdGradeMysteryMountain'' teach players typing skills.
* ''VideoGame/LearnWithPokemonTypingAdventure'' focuses on typing in item or Pokemon names by using the wireless keyboard that comes with the game or the DS's touch screen.
* ''VideoGame/MarioTeachesTyping'', as indicated by the title, has you type in letters to walk or swim through the level.
* ''VideoGame/MavisBeaconTeachesTyping'' is a game that teaches typing to beginners and sets up lessons based on player performance.
* ''VideoGame/NessyFingers'' is an EdutainmentGame that teaches typing using the FramingDevice of showing a lovable Loch Ness Monster how to do it.
* ''VideoGame/NitroType'' is a RacingGame that doubles as a typing game; in each race, players have to type a passage of text. The players' position in the race is determined by their accuracy and speed.
* ''VideoGame/TheTextorcistTheStoryOfRayBibbia'' combines this with BulletHell, having you type in letters to perform exorcisms whilst dodging projectiles.
* ''VideoGame/TyperShark'': The player character is a scuba diver who's threatened by [[ThreateningShark sharks]] and [[PiranhaProblem piranhas]]. The goal is to correctly type the word or text string shown on each creature's body to kill it.
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', [[MisaimedMarketing of all things]], got a typing game for the SEGA Dreamcast called ''Typing E Keikaku'' which uses the Dreamcast keyboard to teach typing to kids. Obviously, there is no extreme violence or psychological horror at all in this game.
* ''VideoGame/TypingInstructor'' is a game that teaches players how to type in various travel-themed minigames.
* The ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'' series has typing-centric remakes of the second and third entries in the franchise as well as ''VideoGame/TheHouseOfTheDeadOverkill'', released as "The Typing of the Dead", "The Typing of the Dead 2" and "The Typing of the Dead: OVERKILL". These replace the original games' light gun mechanics with a perfectly shot bullet whenever a displayed word or phrase is correctly typed. "OVERKILL" askews typical typing game mechanics for the FinalBoss, asking the player to [[spoiler:"type anything, as long as you [[RapidFireTyping type like a motherfucker."]] Extra damage is awarded if the words being typed are associated with a listed character, but it's easy enough to win by mashing.]]

You sometimes get choices between one of words on every page, and there are even hidden coins that can be found by interacting with the objects on the page.
* ''VideoGame/TheCommunitree'': The third tab in the Despacit layer initially involves the Giftcode Generator, where you have to type in giftcodes given by the game into a bar and press Enter. Some of them are things related to the game like "mod" and "despacit" or other topics like "easter" and "mother" (with some numbers as well), but many others are gibberish. You get a number of gift points based on how many characters were in the word that you spelled.
* ''VideoGame/DeltaruneTitans'': Spamton Sigma's Purple Soul attack has him use a large notebook that falls on you. To avoid it, you have to type in words that contain letters which are shown on it (for example, if it shows "gy", you can respond with "laggy") until it ends.
* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinLullaby'': The song "Monochrome" features a mechanic where you are required to type out words that the Unown spell out.
