How to Use the Typing Test
- Pick a test length: 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes.
- Click into the input box and start typing — the countdown starts on your first keystroke.
- Keep typing until time runs out to see your final WPM, accuracy, and typo count.
- Click "Restart" to try again with a fresh passage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM (words per minute) calculated?
It's based only on characters you typed correctly — every 5 correct characters counts as one "word," divided by the fixed test duration you selected (10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes). Typos don't count toward your WPM, only toward your typo count and accuracy.
What counts as a typo?
Any character you type that doesn't match the target text at that exact position, checked live as you go. Typos lower your accuracy percentage and aren't counted in your WPM, even if you don't go back and fix them.
Can I choose how long the test runs?
Yes — pick 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes before you start typing. The countdown begins the moment you type your first character, and the test ends automatically when time runs out, scoring exactly what you typed up to that point.
Is anything I type saved or sent anywhere?
No — the timer, comparison, and scoring all happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is stored or sent to a server.
