How the typing speed test works
This free online typing test measures how fast and how accurately you type. Choose a duration, click the text box, and start typing the words shown. The timer begins with your first keystroke. When time runs out, you get your net WPM (words per minute), your accuracy percentage, and your number of mistakes. Your best score is saved in your browser, so you can try to beat it every time you come back.
How to type faster
- Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF and JKL;) and return to it after each key.
- Look at the screen, not at the keyboard.
- Aim for accuracy first. Speed follows once mistakes drop.
- Type in a steady rhythm instead of rushing and stopping.
- Practice 10 to 15 minutes every day. Short, regular sessions work better than long, rare ones.
Typing speed test FAQ
What is a good typing speed?
The average typing speed is about 40 WPM. Reaching 50 to 60 WPM is good for most office jobs, 70 to 80 WPM is considered fast, and 100 WPM or more is professional level.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5 (one word is counted as five characters), divided by the minutes you typed. Mistakes that you leave uncorrected do not count toward your score.
What is the difference between WPM and accuracy?
WPM shows how fast you type. Accuracy is the percentage of keystrokes that matched the text. A high WPM with low accuracy means you spend time fixing errors, so both numbers matter.
Is this typing test free?
Yes. The typing speed test is 100% free, works in your browser, and needs no signup, download or email address.
Does the test work on mobile phones?
Yes. It works on phones, tablets and computers. For the most reliable result, use a physical keyboard on a laptop or desktop computer.
How can I improve my typing score?
Use proper finger placement, focus on accuracy, avoid looking at the keys, and take the test daily. Most people see a clear improvement within two to three weeks of regular practice.
