The basics

How the typing test works

Your speed is measured in words per minute (WPM). By convention one “word” is five characters, including spaces, so WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct. Both matter: a fast but sloppy run is slower in practice, because every mistake has to be fixed.

Benchmarks

What is a good typing speed?

Under 20 WPM
Beginner. Still finding the keys, so touch typing helps most.
20–40 WPM
Average. Comfortable for everyday use, often partial touch typing.
40–60 WPM
Good. Typical office speed with proper finger placement.
60–80 WPM
Fast. Above average, mostly without looking down.
80–100 WPM
Excellent. Competitive with serious hobbyists and many professionals.
100+ WPM
Elite. The top few percent of typists.

How to type faster

Accuracy first

Slow down until you rarely make mistakes, then add speed. Speed built on errors doesn’t last.

Use all ten fingers

Learn the home row and touch typing so your hands stop searching for keys.

Drill your weak keys

Most slowdowns come from a handful of keys and letter pairs. Targeted drills fix them faster than general typing.

Practise every day

Ten focused minutes beat one long weekly session. Consistency builds muscle memory.

Questions

Typing test FAQ

How is WPM calculated?

One word is counted as five characters, including spaces. Your WPM is the number of correct characters you typed, divided by five, divided by the minutes you spent typing.

Is a 30 or 60 second test more accurate?

A 60 second test is steadier because a short burst can be skewed by a fast start or one slow word. Use 30 seconds for a quick check and 60 seconds for a more reliable number.

What accuracy should I aim for?

Aim for 95% or higher. Below that, mistakes cost you more time in corrections than the extra speed gains.

Do I need to sign up?

No. The test runs entirely in your browser, and your results stay on your device.
