How is typing speed measured?

Net words per minute (WPM) is calculated by dividing correctly matched characters by five, then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes.

How is typing accuracy calculated?

Accuracy is the percentage of entered characters that match the passage at the same position. Backspace corrections are supported in every mode except Perfect Run.

Can I choose a different test duration?

Yes. Choose a 15-second blitz, 30-second sprint, one-minute test, two-minute focus session or five-minute endurance test.

Are my typing scores saved online?

No account is needed. Your personal best, experience points, badges and recent runs are saved locally in this browser on this device. They are not uploaded or synced.

Can I take the typing test on a phone?

Yes. The interface works on mobile browsers. For comparable touch-typing measurement, use a physical keyboard because touchscreen typing uses a different input method.

How net WPM and accuracy are calculated

This test counts five correctly matched characters as one standard word. Net WPM is correctly matched characters divided by five, then divided by elapsed time in minutes. For example, 200 correct characters in one minute equal 40 net WPM.

Accuracy is the percentage of characters currently entered that match the passage in the same position. In Classic, Combo Rush and Accuracy Hunt, you can correct a typo with Backspace. The live wrong-character count updates when you edit your text.

Practical ways to improve typing speed

Practise in short, consistent sessions. Keep your hands relaxed, use the correct fingers for each key and look at the passage instead of your keyboard. Build an even rhythm before trying to type faster.

If your accuracy drops, slow down and repeat an easier level. Use the keyboard insights to notice repeated trouble spots. A physical keyboard is recommended for comparable touch-typing results; phone touchscreen scores use a different input method.

Nine typing practice levels and four test modes

The nine levels move from home-row patterns and everyday sentences to longer paragraphs, coding syntax, short word sprints, numbers, punctuation and mixed professional text. Choose Classic for flexible practice, Perfect Run to end on the first incorrect character, Combo Rush to build a clean streak, or Accuracy Hunt to aim for at least 98% accuracy.
