TypeRush Autosolve

An educational Chrome extension that types a TypeRush paragraph at the WPM you choose — so a number like “200 WPM” becomes something you can actually see.

Manifest V3 · Chrome / Edge / Brave · ~21 KB
Download ZIP

Install in 5 steps

Important: Chrome can't load a ZIP directly — you must unzip it first and point Chrome at the resulting folder. Selecting the .zip file itself will fail with “Manifest file is missing or unreadable.”
  1. Download the ZIP using the button above.
  2. Unzip it into a folder. On Mac, double‑click the .zip in Finder. On Windows, right‑click → Extract All. You'll get a folder named typerush-autosolve-extension that contains manifest.json. Keep this folder somewhere permanent (e.g. Documents) — Chrome reads from this exact path every time it loads the extension, so if you move or delete it, the extension breaks.
  3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions/. (Edge: edge://extensions/, Brave: brave://extensions/.)
  4. Toggle Developer mode on (top‑right corner).
  5. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped typerush-autosolve-extension folder (not the .zip, not a file inside it — the folder itself).

That's it — you should see the TypeRush Autosolve icon in your toolbar. Pin it for easy access (puzzle‑piece menu → pin).

Using it

  1. Visit typerush.com and open a race.
  2. Click the extension icon to open the popup, pick a WPM (30–1000).
  3. Tick Auto‑start as soon as the race loads for hands‑free use, or hit Start Autosolve manually when the race begins.

The paragraph is auto‑detected from the race's network stream and shown in the Auto‑detected box. You can also paste a paragraph in by hand.

What you get

WPM slider

30 to 1000 words per minute. Watch what each speed actually feels like on the same paragraph.

Auto‑detect

Sniffs the paragraph from WebSocket / fetch / XHR traffic so you never copy text manually.

Auto‑start

Optional — kicks in as soon as the countdown ends. Toggle it off for manual control.

Progress bar

Live progress + characters‑remaining inside the popup while it types.

Troubleshooting

  1. “Manifest file is missing or unreadable” — You probably pointed Chrome at the ZIP or its parent folder. Unzip first, then pick the inner typerush-autosolve-extension folder (the one with manifest.json in it).
  2. Nothing happens on the race page — Reload the TypeRush tab after installing. The content scripts only attach to pages loaded after the extension is enabled.
  3. Paragraph box stays empty — Open the popup before the race starts so the hook is listening. If it still misses, paste the text in manually.
  4. Extension disappeared — Don't move or rename the unzipped folder after loading. Chrome remembers the original path; if it moves, the extension errors out. Re‑load it from the new location.
Heads up. This is an educational / demonstration tool — built to make typing speed numbers concrete for learners. Please don't use it to cheat on real competitive races. Use responsibly.
