Pro mode
A 120 wpm goal. For people whose keyboards glow in the dark, just in case.
pro tips
Look at the screen, not the keys. Your keyboard isn't going anywhere; your screen has all the letters you need — for now.
Posture over speed. Typing fast with your wrists in pain is not a flex. Sit up, then win.
Smooth beats fast. A steady rhythm beats sudden bursts, and the progress bar knows it.
what it does
A classic speed test: the phrase sits above, you type into the box below, and every letter lights up in ink when you get it right and in red when you don't. The site grades as you go, like a teacher with strong opinions.
Speed is measured in words per minute — a word is five characters, the international standard — and accuracy is tracked too, so you can't cheat by slamming the keyboard with your forehead.
Pick a mode from the cards above, or just start typing. The timer begins on your first keystroke, and the verdict arrives the moment you finish. There is a "try again". There is always a "try again".
The test compares your typing character by character against the phrase, so you can't fake speed by hammering the keyboard — accuracy counts. Your best WPM is saved in your browser for the next attempt, a small trophy earned one keystroke at a time.
quick answers
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute counts five characters as one word — the international standard — using your correct keystrokes, divided by the time.
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is solid, 60–80 is comfortable, and 100+ means you've been living in the keyboard. Your first result is a warm-up; don't panic.
Does accuracy matter?
Yes — WPM only counts correct characters. Typing fast with mistakes is just typing fast at being wrong.
Why can't I paste the phrase?
Pasting would beat the test, not your typing. It's a speed test, not a copy-paste contest.
