The Typing Speed Test measures how many words per minute (WPM) you can type accurately. It tracks your speed, accuracy, errors and time. Choose from easy, medium or hard difficulty to match your skill level.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed?
The average typist reaches 40–55 WPM. 70+ WPM is considered fast. Professional typists and coders often exceed 90 WPM. 120+ WPM puts you in the top 1%.
What does WPM mean?
Words Per Minute — each "word" is counted as 5 characters, which is the standard measurement used in typing tests worldwide.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Learn proper touch typing (home row position), avoid looking at the keyboard, and practice daily. Even 10 minutes a day will show improvement within weeks.
Does accuracy matter more than speed?
Yes — it's better to type accurately at 50 WPM than to make lots of errors at 70 WPM. Accuracy first, then speed will naturally follow.
