About the Typing Speed Test

The Typing Speed Test measures how fast and accurately you type using the standard WPM (words per minute) metric. All results are saved locally in your browser so you can track your improvement over time.

How WPM is calculated

WPM is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed by 5 (the average word length), then dividing that by the elapsed time in minutes. This gives a consistent result regardless of the actual words in the passage.

Accuracy is calculated separately: the percentage of characters you typed that matched the passage exactly. A high WPM with low accuracy is less useful than a moderate WPM with near-perfect accuracy, so both numbers matter.

Difficulty levels

  • Easy: Short sentences with common everyday words. Great for warm-ups or beginners.
  • Medium: Mixed vocabulary including numbers and punctuation. The standard benchmark level.
  • Hard: Long, complex sentences with technical vocabulary. Requires focus and precision.

Tips to improve

  • Prioritise accuracy over speed — faster typing follows naturally with practice.
  • Keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF / JKL;) and avoid looking at the keyboard.
  • Short daily sessions beat long infrequent ones for building muscle memory.
  • Use the weekly chart to spot plateaus and push through them.
