Lunch Letters is a Flash typing game from the Arcade of Webkinz. The player helps Billy the Goat keep a cafeteria clean by typing the falling foods before they hit the ground.[1]

How it is played

Words and letters fall, and the player types them before they touch the floor.[2] The closer a food is to the bottom of the screen when it is typed, the more points it gives, and the spacebar cancels a word that has been started.[1] Billy "will go bonkers" if too much is left to clean at the end of a level.[1] The player chooses a difficulty before starting; the text names Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard.[2][2]

The game teaches touch typing. It advises keeping the fingers on the home keys, with the pointing fingers on F and J, and not looking at them.[2]

Certificate

A player who does very well receives a certificate that can be printed.[1] Its text is headed "CERTIFICATE OF ACHIEVEMENT" and carries the line "Lunch Letters and the Webkinz Magic W Symbol are Trademarks of Ganz".[2][2]

Reward

The game paid one KinzCash for every 125 points.[1] The files do not say who made the game or when.
