Measure your typing speed in words per minute.
Updated
Find out how fast you type. Start typing and the timer begins — your live WPM updates as you go, and at the end you get your speed in words per minute (WPM), accuracy, raw speed, consistency, a character breakdown, and a WPM-over-time graph. Choose a timed test (15–120s), a fixed word count, or a real quote, and add punctuation and numbers for a harder run. Press Tab, Enter, or Escape to restart. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere; only your best score is kept in your own browser.

Typing speed is measured in words per minute, or WPM, where a word is standardized as five characters so that long and short words count equally. This test starts its timer on your first keystroke and reports net WPM, which counts only correctly typed characters, alongside raw WPM, which counts everything you typed including mistakes. Accuracy is the share of typed characters that were correct, and consistency measures how steady your speed stayed from second to second. You can run a timed test of 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds, a fixed passage of 10, 25, 50, or 100 words, or one of twelve built-in quotes, with optional punctuation and numbers for a harder run. Words are drawn from a bank of 173 common English words. Your best score for each mode is kept in your own browser so you can beat it later; nothing you type is sent anywhere. Press Tab, Enter, or Escape to restart.
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. 60–80 WPM is fast, and professional typists often exceed 100 WPM. Accuracy matters just as much as raw speed.
One 'word' is standardized as five characters. Your WPM is the number of correctly typed characters divided by five, divided by the time in minutes — so mistakes lower your score.
Raw WPM counts everything you type; WPM (net) counts only the characters you typed correctly. The gap between the two is your accuracy.
No — the test runs entirely in your browser. The words are generated locally and nothing you type is stored or uploaded.
Use all ten fingers, keep your eyes on the words instead of the keys, and focus on accuracy first — speed follows once your fingers learn the key positions.
Time mode gives you a fixed number of seconds (15 to 120); words mode has you race to finish a set number of words; and quote mode has you type a real sentence with punctuation and capitals. You can also switch on punctuation and numbers to make any test harder and more realistic.
Raw WPM counts every keystroke, including mistakes, while WPM counts only correct characters. Consistency shows how steady your speed was from second to second — a higher percentage means a more even pace rather than bursts and pauses.
