About Falling Words
Falling Words is a classic typing arcade with a twist — every word that drifts down from the top of the screen is an asteroid hurtling toward your defender ship. Type the word fully and a twin-laser volley shoots out, vaporizing it in a shower of sparks.
The longer you survive, the faster the words come and the harder they get. Word lengths grow with every level, the spawn rate tightens, and trails of debris fill the starfield. Your only weapon is your keyboard.
It works in both English and Bangla — Bangla mode shows the word in Bengali script with the matching Avro phonetic key sequence below it, so you can practice your script and your typing at once.
How to Play Falling Words

Watch the asteroids
Word-asteroids drift down the screen. The lower one will hit you first.
Type the word
Type any letter that starts a visible word — your ship locks on automatically.

Type the rest of the word to fire a finishing laser and explode the asteroid.

Asteroids that reach the bottom cost a life. Three strikes and the run ends.
