What is Typing Speed Test
The Typing Speed Test measures how many words per minute (WPM) you can type accurately in 60 seconds. Type each displayed word and press Space to advance. The timer starts on your first keystroke, and your final WPM and accuracy are shown when time runs out. Results can be shared as an image.
How to use

- Keep typing until the 60-second timer runs out — the test ends automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
WPM (words per minute) is calculated as the number of correctly typed words divided by the elapsed time in minutes. The standard definition counts a 'word' as exactly 5 characters, but this test counts each correctly completed word regardless of length.
When does the timer start?
The timer starts on your first keystroke, not when you click the Start button. This gives you time to read the first word before the clock begins.
What happens if I type the wrong word?
Wrong words still advance when you press Space, but they count against your accuracy score. Incorrect words do not contribute to your WPM count — only correctly typed words do.
What is considered a good typing speed?
The average adult types 40–60 WPM. Professional typists typically reach 70–90 WPM, while competitive typists can exceed 120 WPM. For most office work, 60 WPM is a comfortable target.
Is my score saved?
Your personal best is saved locally in your browser using localStorage. It persists between sessions on the same device but is not uploaded to any server.
