The 60-second timer starts when you begin typing — 60s

How Fast Do You Really Type?

Click the box and start typing the words shown; the 60-second timer starts with your first keystroke. When time is up you get your WPM (words per minute, using the standard 5-characters-per-word definition), accuracy and the breakdown of correct and wrong words. Wrong words are highlighted as you go, so you see slips immediately.

The word pool contains the most common English words, shuffled fresh for every run — memorising the test is pointless, which keeps your score honest. As a reference: 40 WPM is a solid everyday pace, 60–80 is fast, and professional typists exceed 100. Retake it any time; everything runs in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is WPM calculated?

The standard way: correctly typed characters divided by 5 count as one "word", scaled to a minute. This makes scores comparable regardless of whether the words shown were short or long.

Does accuracy affect the WPM score?

Yes — only correctly typed words count toward WPM. Accuracy is also reported separately, since a fast-but-sloppy 90% run and a clean 100% run feel very different in real work.

What is a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM matches the average computer user; 60–80 is fast; over 100 is professional territory. Consistent daily practice of 10–15 minutes moves the number more than marathon sessions.
