How is WPM (Words Per Minute) calculated?

WPM is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the standard word length) and then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. Only correct characters count toward your WPM score.

What is a good typing speed?

The average typing speed is 40 WPM. Professional typists usually type 60-80 WPM. Speed above 80 WPM is considered excellent. Competitive typists can reach 120+ WPM.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Practice regularly with typing tests, maintain proper finger placement on the home row (ASDF JKL;), look at the screen instead of the keyboard, and focus on accuracy first — speed will follow naturally.

Does this typing test work on mobile?

Yes, the typing test works on mobile devices and tablets. However, for the most accurate results, use a physical keyboard on a desktop or laptop computer.

Is my typing data saved or shared?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your typed text and results are never sent to any server or stored anywhere.

Which test duration should I choose?

For a quick check, use the 1-minute test. For a more accurate measurement, the 2 or 3-minute test is recommended. Use the 5-minute test for endurance practice.
