About this typing speed test
This free typing speed test measures your WPM (words per minute) and accuracy across three difficulty levels: Easy (common short words), Medium (everyday vocabulary), and Hard (complex, longer words). Choose 30, 60 or 120 seconds. Your score is calculated server-side to prevent cheating — paste detection and velocity checks ensure leaderboard scores are genuine. The average adult types at 40–60 WPM. Professional typists typically reach 75–100 WPM. The world record is over 200 WPM.
Frequently asked questions
WPM stands for Words Per Minute — the number of correctly typed words in one minute. The displayed WPM is your net WPM (correct words only), while Raw WPM includes all words typed regardless of errors. Most typing tests use net WPM as the standard measure.
The average adult types at 40–60 WPM. Above 70 WPM is considered fast. Professional typists and secretaries typically reach 80–100 WPM. Competitive typists and stenographers can exceed 150 WPM. The world record is over 200 WPM.
Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed words out of total words typed. For example, if you typed 50 words and 45 were correct, your accuracy is 90%. High accuracy with lower speed is generally better than high speed with many errors.
Focus on accuracy first — speed comes naturally with practice. Use all ten fingers with proper touch typing technique. Practise regularly for 15–20 minutes a day. Avoid looking at the keyboard. Start slow and gradually increase speed as your muscle memory improves.
