Type the words as they appear. After one minute you get your speed in words per minute and your accuracy.
Typing speed is reported in words per minute (WPM). A word is standardised as five characters, so the score does not depend on whether you happen to get short or long words.
Read the speed together with the accuracy. A high WPM with a pile of errors is slower in practice than a calmer pace with no corrections, because the time saved on the keyboard goes back into fixing the text.
The word pool is English, so results from other language versions are pooled separately. The comparison with other players is a rough guide.
Six interest types and a profile that shows where you are likely to thrive.
Speed is reported in words per minute (WPM): correctly typed characters divided by five. An average keyboard user sits around 40 WPM, and people who type every day without looking go well above that. Only correctly typed words count towards WPM, and accuracy sits next to the speed as a second number.
Sixty seconds is a short window, so a few WPM between two runs is normal fluctuation - one word you stumble on is enough. Read both numbers together: speed with a large share of errors is slower in practice than a calmer pace with no corrections.
| WPM | ||
|---|---|---|
| Excellent pace | ≥ 70 | Professional typing pace, usually touch typing with ten fingers. |
| Brisk pace | 50-69 | A brisk pace, no hunting for keys. |
| Average pace | 30-49 | The band an average keyboard user lands in. |
| Steadier pace | < 30 | A steadier pace, typically a few fingers or eyes on the keyboard. |
The keyboard matters more than you would expect. A mechanical board types differently from a laptop one, an unfamiliar layout slows you down on punctuation, and cold hands cost a few words on their own. On top of that, in sixty seconds a single word you get stuck on carries noticeable weight.
While playing, an even rhythm beats bursts of speed, because a mistake costs you more time than rushing saves. Look at the word you are typing rather than at the keyboard, confirm a finished word with space or Enter, and do not stop over a typo you have already sent - there is no going back.
An average keyboard user sits around 40 WPM, and people who type every day without looking go well above that. These are rough figures, not a published norm.
We add up the characters of the words you typed correctly and divide by five, because a word is standardised as five characters. That way it does not matter whether you get short or long words.
A word typed wrong does not count towards WPM, so speed with a lot of errors drops on its own. Accuracy is also shown separately, as the share of correct words.
Every version draws on its own word pool. The English one uses common words with no accented characters, other pools have them and the typical word length differs too. Results from the individual language versions are therefore compared separately, each has its own comparison.

Read moreThe bands next to your result come from fixed thresholds that are the same for every player. The percentile is calculated from the scores of other players on this site, not from published norms, and it only appears once enough runs have been stored. The typing test has its own comparison for each language version, because the word pools differ. For the other games we pool all languages together.
Measuring conditions differ from person to person - a different mouse, a different screen, a different level of focus. So treat the comparison with others as a rough guide. The most useful number is your own history of recent attempts, which sits right next to the result.
These games are for practice and rough comparison. They are not psychological or medical diagnostics, and the result says nothing about your intelligence or your health.
