About the typing speed test

The typing speed test measures how many correct words per minute (WPM) you can type in a 60-second sprint. WPM and accuracy together tell you both how fast and how cleanly you type. It's a standard benchmark for writers, developers, and office workers.

How it works

  1. 1Click the input and start typing the words shown.
  2. 2The 60-second timer begins on your first keystroke.
  3. 3Correct characters advance the word; typos are highlighted.
  4. 4At the end you get net WPM and accuracy %. Best saves locally.

Tips to improve

  • Use all ten fingers with proper home-row position.
  • Look at the words, not your keys.
  • Aim for accuracy first — speed follows.
  • Consistent touch typing practice is key to developing speed and muscle memory over time.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good typing speed?

40 WPM is average, 60 WPM is professional, 80+ WPM is fast, and 100+ WPM is elite. Court reporters using stenography exceed 200 WPM but with a specialized keyboard.

How is WPM calculated?

One 'word' is standardized as five characters (including spaces). Net WPM subtracts errors, so accuracy directly affects your score.

Should I learn touch typing?

Yes. Touch typing (all ten fingers, no looking) is the single biggest speed and stamina upgrade for anyone who types daily.
