WPM uses the standard of five characters per word, counting only correctly typed characters. The test runs entirely in your browser — nothing you type is stored or uploaded.
How to take the typing test
Click the passage and start typing it exactly as shown. Each character turns dark when correct and oxblood when wrong. The 60-second timer starts on your first keystroke; your WPM and accuracy update as you go and freeze when time is up.
How WPM is measured
Words per minute uses the standard of five characters per word. We count the characters you typed correctly, divide by five, then scale to a full minute — so a fast but error-filled run scores lower than a clean one.
Questions
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is average for an adult, 60–70 WPM is a strong office pace, and professional typists often exceed 90 WPM. Accuracy matters as much as speed — a clean 50 WPM beats a sloppy 70.
How is WPM calculated here?
We use the common convention of five characters per word. Correct characters are counted, divided by five to get words, then scaled to a 60-second minute. Mistakes you don't fix reduce both your accuracy and your effective speed.
Does my typing get sent anywhere?
No. The whole test runs in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you type is recorded, stored, or uploaded — refresh the page and it's gone.
