There are two difficulties:

• expert: use 1000 most common words

By default a game duration is one minute.

The game can be customized with the following variables:

Vsariable	Description
typit-dict	Language dictionary to use (default is english.txt)
typit-dict-dir	A directory path where to find dictionaries
typit-line-length	Length of generated lines (default 80)
typit-test-time	Duration of a game in seconds (default 60)

Create a new dictionary

To add a new dictionary, you need to create a text file named your-language.txt and put it under the dict directory. That file should contain 1000 most common words from the language, a word per line. Please make sure that it uses Unix-style (that is, LF) end-of-line sequence and the file ends with a newline.
