Ghosting

== Ghosting is a feature that enables users to race against a player's "ghost" on TypeRacer quotes. Scores that are obtained through this feature can only be saved by users with premium subscription. ==

Info
Ghosting allows a user to redo and type any text again in order to achieve a higher score. Scores can be saved only twice every 24 hours. Ghosting has allowed some users to achieve extremely high WPM scores on short and easy quotes. As of September 2018, racers have attained 300+ WPM on four different quotes via ghosting.

Technicalities
Interestingly, users with a premium subscription are able to save scores through ghosting without having to pass the Captcha test, granting premium users an unintentional perk.

Upon completing a text and obtaining a score by ghosting, the user has 20 minutes to save the score until the page times out. Once 20 minutes have passed, the page will no longer allow the user to save the ghosted score. However, the timer can be reset by interacting with the page (Clicking save is one method). So if a player ghosts a quote and wants to save a score, but has already saved 2 scores within the past 24 hours, he/she can continually interact with the page until the 24 hour period is up.
