flinqe finga – Game guide

Version 2.2 · As of: 9 October 2026

Note: This English guide is a translation of the German game guide. The app's user interface is in German; where a specific on-screen label matters, the German wording is kept (e.g. the buttons NEU, SIM, Ok).

1. Game idea◀▶▲▼

flinqe finga trains fast and precise navigation on virtual keyboards. The goal is to type a given word with as few cursor movements as possible and as quickly as possible.

The cursor starts at a fixed position. Use the control pad to move it to the target key and confirm with ✓. Repeat this until the word is fully entered.

2. Game screen◀▶▲▼

+------------------------------------------+

Level row: Shows keyboard-no. · L# · name in the badge with the description next to it (e.g. “01 · L3 · Mittel”). The keyboard name is shown in short form — the Tastatur_ prefix is dropped; Tastatur_001 becomes “01”, Tastatur_009 becomes “09”, Tastatur_101_ger becomes “101”. If the level name is just a number (“L1”), it isn’t shown twice. Tapping opens an info dialog with keyboard number, keyboard description, level number and level description (10-second auto-close timer). On keyboards with fewer rows the row text grows automatically (≤ 4 rows ≈ 30 % larger).

Stopwatch + best-time bar: The stopwatch (with move counter) and your personal best for the current phrase share the height of the NEU button. If no best time exists yet, the stopwatch stands alone in the centre.

Footer row 1 (yellow, scrolling): The target phrase as a marquee.

Footer row 2: Opt: N shows the optimal number of moves for the current phrase. If (*) follows, the optimal solution can only be reached with the help of the cursor keys ◀/▶ — these phrases are especially interesting for advanced players (see “cursor strategy” below). During game events (“undo”, “simulation running”, “time’s up”) a short hint appears to the right of the Opt value.

Wraparound is always active — at the edge the cursor jumps to the opposite side.

3. Controls◀▶▲▼

Physical keyboard

Touchscreen — standard

Touchscreen — with diagonal navigation

When diagonal navigation is enabled, a 3×3 control pad appears with 4 additional diagonal keys (on all keyboards, regardless of their shape):

  diagonal-up-left     up    diagonal-up-right
            left       Ok    right
  diagonal-down-left  down   diagonal-down-right

4. Gameplay◀▶▲▼

Start

After opening the app, a random target word appears. The timer is stopped – the first movement starts it.

Typing

Navigate to the desired key with the control pad and confirm with Ok. The game automatically detects when the input matches the target word.

Special keys on the keyboard

Cursor strategy (advanced)

The left/right keys on the keyboard move the text input cursor. This lets you insert letters in any order. Example for the word “BRIEFE”: type R, I, E, F, E first, then press left several times to insert the B at the start. On certain keyboard layouts this saves many moves.

Finish

On correct input the completion overlay appears with score, time and moves. From there:

• Again – same level, new random word
• Next – next level in the series
• Show optimal path (SIM) – the AI demonstrates the optimal solution

Time limit

If a level has a time limit and the time runs out, “TIME UP” appears. Again starts a new attempt.

The time limit adapts to the difficulty of the phrase: the longer the optimal solution, the more time you get (but at least the level base time). This keeps even a difficult phrase fairly solvable. The simulation (optimal path, SIM) always runs through completely without a time limit — it shows the solution and never fails because of the clock.

5. Scoring◀▶▲▼

Score = 10,000 - (moves x 10) - (time in ms / 200)

Minimum value: 0 points (the score never goes negative).

Example: word in 25 moves and 18 seconds: 10,000 - 250 - 90 = 9,660 points

Moves are more costly than time: 5 extra moves cost 50 points; 5 extra seconds cost 25 points.

The overlay also shows the deviation from the theoretical optimum (+N = N moves more than optimal). The optimal number of moves is calculated automatically.

6. Personal bests and world records◀▶▲▼

The game draws a strict distinction between two things:

• Personal best — your best result on this device.
• World record — the best result worldwide for a combination. There is exactly one per combination, and it lives on the server.

So a new personal best is not yet a world record.

Personal best (on the device)

For each combination (keyboard, rule set, phrase, diagonal, mode) the game stores exactly one entry — the best result. A new attempt automatically overwrites the old entry if it is better. The completion overlay then shows the banner PERSÖNLICHE BESTLEISTUNG (personal best). If the server also confirms the run as the best worldwide, it changes to WELTREKORD (world record). If there is currently no connection to the server, the line “auch Weltrekord? (Du bist offline)” appears underneath — whether the run is also the best worldwide is then still open. It is submitted automatically later on.

“One-handed / two-handed” mode

Best results are ranked separately for one-handed and two-handed play:

• Two-handed = control pad centred
• One-handed = control pad on the left or right

If you mostly play one-handed, you can specifically improve your own one-handed best results.

(*) marker

Phrases with a (*) star are those whose optimal solution uses the text cursor (◀/▶ on the keyboard). They are technically more demanding and interesting for advanced players.

• Phrase selection (keyboard & level): a star badge next to the entry + a “Only (*)” filter at the top of the list. Plus a diamond icon if you hold the world record for this phrase for the currently set combination (keyboard, rule set, diagonal, one-/two-handed). If you are registered online, there are additionally the filters “I hold” and “others hold”.
• Result card: a star badge next to the player name if the saved attempt used the cursor.

World records (online)

Weltrekorde/Pers. Bestleistungen (world records / personal bests) in the menu opens the screen of the same name with three tabs. All tabs show the entries in the same card layout.

You can recognise the two world-record tabs by the globe symbol with an extra symbol: 🌐+filter = filtered to the current combination, 🌐+up/down arrows = all entries in order.

Tab “Weltrekorde” (globe + filter — current combination):

• Exactly one player per phrase + combination (the rank-1 holder).
• Filter bar: All / I hold / Others hold
• Your own entries are highlighted in colour.
• Diamond icon if you yourself are the holder of this entry.
• Star badge if the entry was achieved with a cursor path.
• Play button in every card – restarts exactly this word.
• At the top there is a fixed note (stays in place while you scroll) with the combination (keyboard, rule set, diagonal on/off, one-/two-handed) for which the holders are shown. The small arrow expands an explanatory text. If you change one of these settings, the leaderboard changes accordingly.

Tab “Weltrekorde” (globe + arrows — all entries):

• Shows all world records in the order in which they are stored on the server (no grouping).
• At the top a collapsible filter bar: keyboard, rule set, navigation, mode, (*) marker, player, top holder (shows only the entries of the player with the most world records overall) and phrase search can be combined freely; a Reset button clears all filters.
• Each card shows its own keyboard + rule set.
• Play button: adopts all settings of this entry (keyboard, rule set, diagonal, one-/two-handed mode) and starts exactly this phrase in exactly this constellation.

Tab “Pers. Bestleistungen” (entries on this device):

• Personal archive of all your own best results.
• Diamond icon if you currently hold the world record with it.
• Star badge for a cursor path.
• A comparison bar shows the gap to the world record (if you do not hold it).
• Play button in every card – repeats exactly this word.

“Pers. Bestleistungen” and “Weltrekorde” are separate lists: “Pers. Bestleistungen” is your own archive (it stays even if others are better), “Weltrekorde” shows only the respective rank-1 holder. A synchronisation never deletes local entries.

Offline mode

If the server is currently unreachable, the score is cached in an offline queue. The next time the app starts with a connection, these entries are submitted automatically — a short message (“N Ergebnisse nachgereicht”, N results submitted) confirms the sync. The server decides per entry whether it beats the current best result.

Messages from the operator

The operator can send messages to you individually or to all players (e.g. notes about new versions, replies to your questions). On the next app start, a dialog appears with subject, body and a reply field (max. 100 characters). Tapping “Verstanden” marks the message as read on the server and stores your reply. Each message is shown to each player only once.

Linking your account (device change)

If you get a new phone, or want your name changed, you can carry your account over without losing your place on the leaderboard:

1. In the player settings tap “Link account …”.
2. Enter your existing player name.
3. Tell the operator the device key shown — they unlock this device for the name.
4. Then tap “Link”: name and world records are yours again.

As protection against misuse, a foreign name cannot simply be taken over — the approval is done by the operator.

Uploading personal bests to the server

The player settings contain an entry “Persönliche Bestleistungen hochladen” below the online-account block. It pushes all of the personal bests stored under “Pers. Bestleistungen” to the server in one go. The server only accepts entries that are better than what is already there (or that are still missing) — no local data is changed. Useful after a server data loss or after a device change, when you still have your local bests but the server doesn’t.

What is stored?

Each entry contains:

Note: Wraparound is always active — best results are therefore comparable across all games.

7. Settings◀▶▲▼

Open via menu icon → Settings.

Online player

• Register player name – create an online account on the server (choose a display name, at most 30 characters)
• The registered name is shown at the top
• Konto auf diesem Gerät verknüpfen or Konto neu verknüpfen (link account) – take over your name after changing devices (see chapter 6)
• Persönliche Bestleistungen hochladen (upload personal bests) – see chapter 6
• Konto löschen (delete account) – deletes your account completely: on the server your player name, device identifier, world records, typing records, messages, team memberships, rating and awards; on the device your name and your own best times. League results already scored remain anonymously as “Gelöschter Spieler” (deleted player) so that the other teams' tables stay correct. If there is no connection to the server, nothing is deleted. Details: Delete account

Your player name is the name you register online — there is no separate, local-only name field. It appears in the game header. Personal bests are only saved once you have a name. Blocked terms are rejected during registration.

Keyboard & level

Selection of the active keyboard and level.

Auto-layout (recommended)

With auto-layout switched on the app ignores the phone's system font size (Android: accessibility settings; iPhone: Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size) and uses its own, device-independent defaults. The game then looks the same on every handset without you having to fine-tune anything per device.

While auto-layout is active the following size sliders are hidden entirely (key font, secondary-label font, max. font enlargement, scale key font to key height, target-tile size). Only after turning auto-layout off do they reappear and become individually adjustable.

Size sliders (only without auto-layout)

Max. font enlargement (system): Android has its own font-size setting in the accessibility options, the iPhone under Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size. flinqe finga adopts it so the app scales up/down with it. Very high system levels can however make the layout overflow. With this slider you set how much the app font may be enlarged at most — in 10 steps from ×1.30 to ×1.75 (default ×1.75). Lower = definitely no overflow; higher = larger font, but at very high system levels it can get tight. The lower limit is fixed so the font never becomes unreadably small.

Appearance

Below these come the colour pickers for the control pad, arrow keys, ✓ button, header and play area, plus the title effect (chrome or fire).

Colour pickers (three accent colours)

In the player settings, in the Spielbereich-Farbe (play-area colour) section, you’ll find three colour pickers, each tinting a whole UI area:

• Play-area colour — clock, player name, input field + border, timer, NEU/SIM/UNDO buttons (icons + text), the “i” icons, the level badge, the best-time person icon, the footer separator line and the footer Opt value. Default beige #DCD2B8.
• Settings colour — subtitles/hints in the settings screens, the help screen and the About dialog. Default light blue #00BCD4.
• UI highlight colour — radio buttons, toggles, sliders, menu symbols, the Play button + your own name under “Weltrekorde/Pers. Bestleistungen”, the active tab indicator, dialog buttons (“Verstanden”, “OK”, etc.). Default violet-blue #6F72C9.

Each picker opens when you tap the corresponding colour swatch. Changes take effect immediately, no restart needed.

Navigation rules

Controls how the cursor jumps at line boundaries when pressing arrow-up/-down.

• Rule set 1 (standard): the cursor stays in the current column and moves to the next row.
• Rule set 2: on wide keys (Space, Shift, Enter, BackSpace) the up/down behaviour depends on the previous horizontal direction — if the cursor comes from the right, ▲ lands it on the right side of the wide key; if it comes from the left, on the left side. Narrow keys behave identically to rule set 1.

Diagonal navigation: enables the four diagonal directions ↖↗↙↘; the control pad then becomes a 3×3 grid. With and without diagonal, separate rankings are kept.

9. Tips for a high score◀▶▲▼

Plan paths ahead The timer only starts on the first movement. Look at the target word and plan the path before you begin.

Use direct paths The shortest path between two keys often runs diagonally — when diagonal navigation is active, you can exploit this on every keyboard.

Use wraparound Wraparound is always active: the cursor jumps from the edge straight to the opposite side. On keyboards with frequent letter pairs at opposite edges (e.g. tastatur_105 “Wraparound”) this saves many moves.

Cursor strategy The left/right keys on the keyboard move the text input cursor. On certain layouts it pays off to type the letters that are close together first and then insert the distant letter with left — instead of navigating back and forth.

CapsLock instead of Shift For words with several consecutive uppercase letters (abbreviations: NASA, HTML, USB) CapsLock pays off instead of pressing Shift repeatedly — especially on tastatur_008, where CapsLock sits centrally in the home row.

Mind the cursor position after typing After every key press the cursor stays on the last pressed key. Choose letters in an order that leaves short paths to the next target.

Use hub letters On the hub keyboard (tastatur_103) E sits in the centre. Words with many E's have extremely short paths — E is always at most 1–2 steps away.

Track the optimum value The footer shows Opt: N — the theoretically minimal number of moves. The completion overlay shows your deviation from it (+N) as a clear indicator of room for improvement.

10. Group contest◀▶▲▼

For groups who want to compete together — a team day, for instance. Everyone plays the same phrases against the same clock, each on their own device, and a shared ranking appears at the end.

Taking part

1. One person starts: menu (≡) → Gruppenwettkampf starten → choose Steuerkreuz (control pad) at the top (for a typing contest see chapter 12) → pick a keyboard and a playing time → Wettkampf anlegen. A six-character code appears.
2. Everyone else: menu → Gruppenwettkampf beitreten → type in the code.
3. Play: the first phrase appears by itself. The clock only starts with your first move, so there is no rush to get ready.
4. Each solved phrase is followed straight away by the next one. The bar at the top shows time left, progress and points; it turns red for the final thirty seconds.
5. When the time is up, the ranking appears.

Whoever started may play as well — they simply join like everybody else.

Points

Each phrase is worth up to 100 points. Full marks go to the shortest possible route; every detour costs accordingly. A phrase you are halfway through when time runs out counts pro rata.

What counts is not who types fastest, but who takes the fewest detours. That is deliberate: on an older phone the control pad responds more slowly, so if time were the measure, the newest handset would win rather than the sharpest mind. Three clean phrases can therefore beat four scrappy ones.

The same conditions for everyone

The keyboard, the rule set and diagonal navigation are set by whoever starts the contest. While it runs, key hints and the SIM button are switched off for everyone, even if you normally have them on. Whether your control pad sits on the left, the right or in the middle is still up to you.

Phrases are chosen on the short side, are drawn from every level of the keyboard and differ from those of the previous contests — so nobody can drill a fixed set.

Worth knowing

• Everyone needs the same app version, otherwise a device may not know the chosen keyboard.
• A contest lives for four hours; after that the code lapses by itself.
• Each name may enter once. Once a result has been reported, that is that.
• To stop early, tap the stop symbol on the right of the bar — whatever you have achieved so far is counted.

11. Teams and league◀▶▲▼

A group contest is one evening. A team stays — and with several teams you can play a whole season with a table, like a club league.

Most of it runs in the browser, not in the app: a table, a fixture list and squad management are easier to handle on a computer, and that way people who have not installed the app can follow along too. It also keeps the app lean.

https://flinqefinga.de/DenkeUndSeiSchnell/liga/?lang=en

Joining a team

You need an online player account (player settings). Then:

1. Whoever founded the team gives you a join code — six characters, just like a contest code.
2. In the app: menu (≡) → Gruppenwettkampf starten → the Meine Mannschaften card at the bottom → Mannschaft beitreten → type the code.

That is all. From now on your results count for that team.

Nobody can add you. Not even the captain — you become a member only by joining yourself. That is deliberate: otherwise anyone could write other people's names into a team.

Founding a team

In the browser at …/liga/kapitaen.php, no sign-in needed. You choose a name, a three-character tag, a colour and a motto, and you receive two codes:

• Join code — this one you pass on.
• Captain code — this one you keep. It is your key to the management page.

Write both down; the captain code is shown only once. If it falls into the wrong hands, just draw a new one — the old one stops working at once. When the captaincy changes, you hand the code over; your player account is not affected.

Team result of a contest

Every ordinary group contest has a team result alongside the individual ranking. After the contest, the Mannschaftswertung im Browser button on the result screen takes you there.

The three best results of each team are counted. So any number of people may take part without large teams gaining an advantage — and it is still worth having many entrants, because the chance of three good results grows.

If you belong to several teams, the app asks after joining which one you are playing for in this contest. If you belong to only one, that happens by itself.

Season

Over several weeks: one matchday per week, on which two teams face each other.

You play as always — a matchday is an ordinary group contest, you just enter the code. The scoring, however, works like a team match in chess: board 1 against board 1, board 2 against board 2 and so on. Whoever wins their board takes a board point; a tie gives half a point to each. The board points decide the match: a win is three table points, a draw one.

Compared first is the score, then who needed fewer moves, then the time. If somebody does not turn up, they lose their board — the rest of the team still counts normally.

Which board you play is set by your captain before the matchday. The rule: board 1 is the strongest. The order must follow playing strength, otherwise the server rejects it — else one could hide the best player at the back and win cheaply there.

Table, fixtures and the board duels of every matchday are in the browser at …/liga/saison.php.

Cup

Alongside the season there can be a cup: a knockout tournament with one round per matchday. Lose and you are out; win and you go through — until only two are left for the final.

Nothing changes for you. A cup round is an ordinary group contest again: enter the code and play. Line-ups work just as on a matchday.

If a tie is level on board points, the decision goes, in order, to the result on board 1, then to the team's lower total number of moves, and if that is equal as well, the home team goes through. Nothing is ever decided by drawing lots — otherwise the same tie could come out differently when it is scored again.

With an odd number of teams, one goes through without an opponent (a bye). The bracket is in the browser, on the same page as the table.

Promotion and relegation

With enough teams there are several leagues stacked on top of each other. At the end of the season the bottom teams of the upper league go down and the top teams of the lower one come up.

You need do nothing and keep nothing in mind: the promotion and relegation places are colour-marked in the table, all season long. That is the whole point — the bottom of the table still has something at stake, and a matchday down there matters as much as one at the top.

Worth knowing

• You can be in several teams — family, club and company at the same time. But you can only score for one per competition.
• A guest player steps in when somebody drops out: one per matchday, and only on the last board.
• Your playing strength is tracked by a rating that rises or falls after every board duel — as in chess. It decides the order in which a team may be fielded.
• When a team is dissolved, its name and tag stay taken. Old result lists are meant to remain readable.

12. Typing record◀▶▲▼

Only one thing counts here: speed at plain, ordinary typing. No control pad, no moves — a large QWERTZ keyboard appears at the bottom (with the switch Mit meiner Handy-Tastatur your phone's own keyboard appears instead), eight phrases at the top, and you type them as fast as you can.

Found in the menu (≡) → Tipp-Rekord (schnell tippen).

Two modes

• Weekly text — world record (Wochentext — Weltrekord): during one calendar week everybody gets the same text. That is the only way to compare times fairly. Your result goes online into the weekly leaderboard and the all-time list. You need an online player account for this. If you have no connection at the moment, the app remembers your result and sends it as soon as you open the typing record again — as long as the week is still running.
• Training: a different text every time. Counts only for your personal best on the device.

Right on the start screen a small board shows the top 5 of the weekly text for your chosen keyboard and switches. After a weekly round you see the top 5 again — with your name highlighted, and if you are not among them, with your rank. The full list (up to rank 50) opens via the trophy at the top right.

Record texts: In the leaderboard, Zeitraum (period) offers Texte (texts). It lists texts from typing contests that were published as record texts when the contest was set up, each with places 1–3 and the date of the record. Tapping a text shows the full list and the button “Diesen Text spielen” (play this text) — so you can take on exactly this text at any time, even a record that is months old. Faster times push it down. Record texts do not count towards Alles (all time): that list only contains weekly texts, so short, easy texts do not distort the comparison.

Reporting: If a record text or a player name is offensive or objectionable, you can report it — on an opened record text with “Text melden” (report text), for names in every leaderboard by long-pressing the name. A reason is optional. The operator checks the report and removes the content if necessary; who reported is not stored.

Rules

• The clock starts with your first keystroke, not when you open the screen.
• A wrong letter is not accepted. The frame flashes red and you type the right one. Every mistake costs half a second of penalty time.
• With the switch Weitertippen bei Fehlern (keep typing on mistakes) a wrong letter is not blocked: the app inserts the right one itself (red underline) and you simply keep typing. In return every mistake costs a whole second, and a round only counts as a record (week, all time, personal best) with at least 90 % accuracy — so wild hammering does not pay off. Keep-typing mode has its own leaderboards.
• The text scrolls along by itself; the current line stays near the top — even when the phone keyboard takes up a lot of space.
• Upper and lower case normally do not matter — on the drawn keyboard every capital letter would otherwise cost an extra keystroke. With the switch Groß- und Kleinschreibung beachten (respect upper/lower case) every letter must match exactly. The ⇧ shift key (left and right) applies to the next letter; tap it twice quickly to lock it, then everything stays upper case until you tap it again. This too has its own leaderboards.
• The drawn keyboard is modelled on the Samsung keyboard: the number row on top, QWERTZ below, all keys the same width. There are no umlauts; the € sign sits where Ö would be. The letter keys show a small second character in the top right (e.g. + on Q, @ on A, ? on M). You get the second character with the !#1 key: tap it, then the key — it applies to one keystroke. There is no delete or enter key, since mistakes are never deleted.
• Speed is measured in words per minute (WpM); one word is five characters, spaces included. The penalty time is included.
• To cancel: the × at the top right, or Esc on a real keyboard.

On-screen keyboard or real keyboard

With ten fingers on a real keyboard you are two to three times as fast as with your thumbs on a phone. That is why there are three separate rankings:

• On-screen keyboard (Bildschirmtastatur) — you only used the drawn keys (finger or mouse). Everyone has the same conditions here.
• Phone keyboard (Handy-Tastatur) — you type with your phone's own, familiar keyboard (Gboard, Samsung keyboard, SwiftKey …). Switch it on on the start screen with Mit meiner Handy-Tastatur; the app remembers your choice.
• Real keyboard (Echte Tastatur) — as soon as even one key of a real keyboard was pressed during a round. This includes a Bluetooth keyboard on a phone.

The app detects the class by itself; for the phone keyboard you only need to set the switch.

With the phone keyboard

• Swiping, word suggestions, autocorrect and pasting do not count. The app switches them off as far as the keyboard allows. If more than one character still arrives at once, nothing is accepted and it counts as a mistake. Tip: turn off swipe typing in your keyboard's settings.
• If the keyboard has disappeared (e.g. after pressing Back), the button Tastatur einblenden brings it back.

Typing contest, teams and league

You can also type against each other. Menu (≡) → Gruppenwettkampf starten → choose Tippen (Tempo) at the top. The same settings apply to everyone:

• the keyboard: phone keyboard or on-screen keyboard. A real keyboard is not allowed in a contest; a result typed with one does not count.
• on mistakes (Bei Fehlern): block or keep typing.
• whether upper and lower case count.
• the text: either random phrases (4 to 40) or your own text, typed in or pasted — at least 30 characters. Everything on the drawn keyboard is allowed: letters, digits and *+ × ÷ = / _ < > [ ] @ ! # $ % ^ & ( ) € - ' " : ; , ? . — but not, for example, § ° ~. Umlauts become ae, oe, ue, ß becomes ss**, line breaks become spaces, typographic quotes and dashes become plain ones.

Team scoring, league match days and the cup work just like in the control-pad contest. Compared first is speed, then fewer mistakes, then the time. Among the season awards, the Efficiency King stands for the highest accuracy in a typing league.

Playing fair

The server checks every submitted result: the gaps between keystrokes must add up to the time, the speed must be humanly possible, and the gaps must not be machine-like even. Anything that fails is not counted. Pasting from the clipboard does not work — there is no visible input field, and pasting is switched off.
