Terminal typing speed games

The cluster is dominated by terminal-based typing games that measure and improve speed and accuracy, with a single Tic Tac Toe outlier. Its dated entries span March 2021 to May 2026, showing an isolated early entry, a long gap, then a gradual rise from one to three per month; one member has no recorded date. The traction leaders—termtypist, sentype, and donkeytype—all show zero stars.
