Frequently asked questions

What games are educational for a 6th grader?

At ages 11-12 the value is in depth: logic puzzles like sudoku and minesweeper, strategy against the computer, and quizzes with large question pools. This page collects the most challenging picks on the site.

Are these games too easy for middle schoolers?

No. Sudoku, minesweeper, lights out and expert color sort challenge adults too. The difficulty settings mean a 6th grader can find a genuine edge to push against.

What typing speed should a 6th grader aim for?

Thirty or more words per minute with high accuracy is a strong target, and it makes every future school assignment faster. Weekly tests on the speed test track the climb.
