How the typing test works
- Pick 15, 30 or 60 seconds. The timer starts with your first letter.
- Press Space after each word. Mistakes turn red and can be fixed with Backspace.
- Press Tab to restart with a fresh set of words.
What your results mean
- WPM counts correct characters only, with every five characters counted as one word.
- Raw WPM counts everything you typed, mistakes included.
- Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were right the first time.
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is often quoted as the adult average. Above 60 WPM is fast, and experienced touch typists often reach 70 to 90. Short tests tend to score higher than long ones, so compare results of the same length.
