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.

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

Correct characters are divided by five, then by the test length in minutes. For example, 150 correct characters in 30 seconds gives 60 WPM.

Which test length should I pick?

15 seconds shows your burst speed and 60 seconds is closer to everyday typing. 30 seconds is a good middle ground for daily practice.

Does fixing a typo help my score?

It helps your WPM, because the word then counts as correct, but your accuracy still records the original mistake.

Can I take the test on my phone?

Yes. Tap the text box to open your keyboard, and compare phone scores only with other phone scores.
