About Typing Race
Typing Race measures how fast and how accurately you type. Pick a test length, start typing the passage, and your live WPM updates as you go.
Words per minute here uses the standard definition — five characters counts as one word — and accuracy is scored on correct keystrokes, so hammering the keys blindly will not help.
How to play
- Choose 15, 30 or 60 seconds.
- Start typing the passage — the timer begins on your first keystroke.
- Correct characters turn green, mistakes turn red.
- When the timer stops you get your WPM, raw WPM and accuracy.
Controls
| Type | That is the whole game |
Tips & strategy
- Accuracy first. Correcting errors costs more time than typing slowly.
- Keep your fingers on the home row and let your eyes stay on the text, not the keyboard.
- 40 WPM is average, 65 is comfortably fast, 100+ is professional territory.
Typing Race — frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
Total correct characters divided by five, scaled to a minute — the standard net WPM formula.
Does it work on a phone?
It runs, but a physical keyboard gives a far more meaningful result.
