Typing Speed Test
A focused typing test that measures real WPM, accuracy and consistency. Pick 15s, 30s, 60s or 2 minutes and a mode: common words, with punctuation, code tokens, or a fixed quote. Live highlighting marks correct, wrong and extra characters as you type. Your personal best is saved in your browser.
Tests run locally and only your personal best is stored in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (correct characters / 5) ÷ minutes elapsed. The standard 'word' is 5 characters. Raw WPM uses all characters including errors.
What is consistency?
How steady your speed was throughout the test. It's 100 minus the coefficient of variation of per-second WPM samples — higher is more consistent.
What's a good WPM?
30–40 is average for a casual typist, 60+ is solid, 80+ is fast, 100+ is very fast. Code mode is harder because of symbols.
Is my typing data uploaded?
No. The test runs entirely in your browser. Only your personal best is stored locally via localStorage.
