Typing test
Measure your WPM, accuracy and consistency — then actually improve them. Every test maps your accuracy key by key and builds practice drills from your weakest ones. Your history and personal bests follow you across devices when you sign in.

Questions people actually ask
- How is WPM calculated?
- The standard way: correctly typed characters (including the space after each correct word) divided by five — the conventional word length — per minute. Raw WPM counts everything you typed, right or wrong; accuracy is correct keystrokes over total keystrokes; consistency measures how steady your speed stayed second to second.
- What makes this different from other typing tests?
- The trainer loop. Every test ends with a per-key accuracy heatmap and your weakest keys called out — then one click generates a practice drill weighted toward exactly those keys. Most tests tell you a number; this one tells you what to fix and hands you the exercise.
- What is a good typing speed?
- Around 40 WPM is the average typist, 60–80 is fluent for professional work, and 100+ is fast. Accuracy matters more than raw speed while improving: at equal effort, fixing errors buys more real WPM than typing faster, because every miss costs corrections.
- Does my history save?
- Always, in your browser. Sign in with Google (top right) and your results, personal bests and progress sync across devices through your account — deletable any time from My profile.
- How do I actually get faster at typing?
- Accuracy first, speed second. Slow down until errors nearly disappear, drill the specific keys you miss (the heatmap after each run shows exactly which), and keep sessions short and frequent — ten focused minutes daily beats an hour on Sunday. Speed follows accuracy automatically; the reverse never happens, because errors force corrections that eat the speed you gained.
- Is 40 words per minute good enough for a job?
- For most office work, yes — job listings that state a requirement typically ask for 35–45 WPM. Data-entry and transcription roles commonly expect 60–80. More useful than any threshold: typing above 60 WPM with high accuracy means the keyboard stops being the bottleneck between your thinking and the screen.
- Why is my accuracy high but my speed stuck?
- Usually rhythm, not fingers. The consistency figure tells the story: bursts followed by hesitations mean you are reading ahead poorly or hunting for certain keys. Check the heatmap for the keys you miss under pressure, drill those, and practise typing in a steady cadence slightly below your peak — an even 70 outruns a spiky 80 over a full paragraph.
