Start a typing test in seconds
- Open the free typing speed test and choose 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes.
- Type the passage shown above the entry field. Your timer begins with the first keystroke.
- When the test ends, check your WPM, accuracy and mistakes. Choose Practice keys to work on the letters that slowed you down.
Understand your WPM and accuracy
WPM means words per minute, where five characters count as one standard word. Corrected WPM measures correctly placed characters in your final entry; raw WPM measures printable character-entry attempts. Accuracy includes incorrect attempts, even if you correct them. This helps you compare your own tests consistently.
Build speed without guessing
Choose Practice My Mistakes to focus on commonly missed keys. Use quick runs for short sessions or a daily run to build consistency. Want a clearer goal? Open the 100-level typing journey to see the WPM, accuracy and duration needed for your next milestone. The milestones are self-guided, not professional certificates.
