Typing Speed Test
How many words per minute do you type? Pick a duration and start typing — the test begins with your first keystroke.
The average typing speed is ~40 WPM; above 60 is good, professionals sustain 80–100+. The test measures net WPM (correct characters only) and accuracy.

Frequently asked questions
How is typing speed (WPM) measured?
One "word" is standardised as 5 characters (including spaces). Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters divided by 5 and by the elapsed minutes; gross WPM counts everything typed. Accuracy therefore directly affects your score.
What is a good typing speed?
The average is around 40 WPM. Above 60 is considered good for text-heavy work, professional typists sustain 80–100+, and records exceed 200 WPM.
How do I type faster?
Use all ten fingers, look at the screen instead of the keyboard, and practise regularly in 10–15 minute sessions. Accuracy comes before speed — errors cost more time than slow, clean typing.
Are my results saved?
Your personal best for each duration is stored only locally in your browser (localStorage) — nothing is sent to a server and no signup is required.
Can I test in Bulgarian too?
Yes — the test uses the words of the page language. Switch the language from the menu above and start a new test in Bulgarian (or back).
