The best way to get better at typing is to practise a little every day. Keep your eyes on the screen, rest your fingers on the home row, and focus on accuracy before speed. Speed comes naturally once your fingers know where every key lives.

How to use the Typing Speed Test

  1. Choose a test length.
  2. Click the box and start typing the passage — the timer starts on your first key.
  3. See your speed and accuracy when time runs out.

What does this tool do?

Speed is measured in words per minute (WPM), where a “word” is counted as five correctly typed characters — the standard definition used by typing tests. Mistakes are highlighted as you type and don't count towards your speed.

Why use it?

  • Track your progress over time.
  • Practise for jobs that require a typing speed.
  • Warm up before writing.

How fast is fast?

Most adults type 35–45 WPM. 60+ WPM is above average, and professional typists often exceed 80 WPM.
