It's Breakout, as a typing game.

Tested in Chrome, should work in FF. Probably will work in Opera, Safari and Edge. Don't use IE.!

Words are taken from 5000 most common words in English. If you find anything inappropriate please tell me and I will remove it asap.

On the very right position, it will allways ignore the paddle and go trough it to the ground.

really like your game. the increasing tail makes it good for someone who sucks like me.

Amazing concept!
It might be better if you got score for correct words, to encourage you to move the paddle to the wrong place for more score. However, as it stands, this is an amazing game.
Also, sometimes the ball goes through the paddle. I haven't figured out what causes this, unfortunately.

Fun game, I was wondering at first how it would maintain difficulty as the number of blocks gets reduced and increasing the length of the words was a good solution. Collisions did get a bit bugged out as I progressed and eventually it was just going through the paddles all the time and I had to stop, but it was fun while it lasted. Good work!

Pretty cool concept. The collision detection on the far right paddle seemed to not work at times. The guide showing where the ball is going really helps a lot. Music and sound effects would have added a lot to this game.
