Master the Art of Typing
In the digital age, your keyboard is your primary instrument of communication. Whether you are a programmer writing code, a student typing essays, or a professional answering emails, your Typing Speed directly impacts your productivity.
Our Typing Speed Test is designed to be more than just a game. It is a diagnostic tool that helps you benchmark your current skills, identify weak points (like accuracy vs. speed), and track your progress over time.
Key Features
Real-Time Analytics
See your WPM and Accuracy update live as you type each character.
Multiple Time Modes
Choose from 30s, 1m, 3m, or 5m tests to build both speed and endurance.
Difficulty Levels
Practice with simple sentences or challenge yourself with complex technical vocabulary.
Net WPM Calculation

The Science of Touch Typing
Pro Tip: Do not look at your keyboard! This is the #1 rule of Touch Typing. Trust your muscle memory. The 'F' and 'J' keys usually have small bumps to help you find the home position without looking.
WPM Benchmarks: Where do you stand?
- Average (40 WPM):
This is the global average for casual computer users. Good enough for emails and chatting.
- Professional (60-70 WPM):
Required for most office jobs. You can type as fast as you think.
- Expert (100+ WPM):
Top 1% of typists. Common among competitive gamers, stenographers, and elite programmers.
Gross vs. Net WPM Formula
Gross WPM is calculated simply by: (All Typed Entries / 5) / Time (min).
Net WPM is the truer measure: Gross WPM - (Uncorrected Errors / Time (min)).
This is why accuracy is critical. If you type 100 WPM but make 20 errors, your actual productivity (Net WPM) drops significantly to around 80 WPM.
