Official Rules
These are the official rules for Fast Fingers. Tap fast, stay accurate, and keep your streak alive. Each mode changes the rules, speed, and memory pressure.
Core rules
Applies to every mode.
- Tap to start — Round 1 starts on your first correct tap.
- Order matters — Tap letters in sequence (A → B → C). Wrong order = misclick.
- Beat the timer — Clear the grid before time runs out.
Freddie & Eddie
Meet Freddie the Flamingo and Eddie the Sloth — your mascots. In the app, they slide out from the screen edges as a surprise easter egg. Tap them for call‑and‑response audio ("yo ed", "yo fred"). Tap one and the other might slide out. Gifted bonus packs can come from Freddie or Eddie. Toggle "Freddie & Eddie surprise" in Settings to enable or disable.
Modes
