80/100 overall on my first try, had one bad score that messed me up, I think I got 4 or 5 100's.

Only play the game if you know what kerning means

I got 88/100 overall.

Great little game, really wish this had existed when I was in school as it's a great little exercise to get students thinking about kerning in a tangible/non subjective way.

Oof, lot rustier than I should (92), but fun nonetheless....Yves and Toronto are probably the toughest.

Do I fail for not figuring out how to get it going?

Got 100% on quite a few, but Toronto (50%) and Xylophone (0%) killed me.

77/100 total

Real typeface nerds also know what keming is.

(I'm not a typeface nerd, I just associate with a few of them - 72/100.)

I'm actually surprised I did reasonably well. I got the hang of it after the first couple, I got 100 for most after that. My final score was 94.

79/100 the script wouldn't load at work earlier. Once I got the hang of it they were pretty easy.

78.. mostly because I bombed the first one because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I got 100 on Toronto, Xylophone and Gargantuan though.

I spent most of the spring kerning metal type with tiny slivers of foil and tweezers. This is much easier.
