WPM TEST

Words Per Minute (WPM) Test

Measure how many standardized words you type per minute. Typing tests commonly count five characters, including spaces, as one word for a consistent WPM measure.

How to use this tool

Use a comfortable keyboard position and type naturally. The clock begins with your first keystroke, so you can get settled before starting. For meaningful comparisons, repeat tests using the same duration and focus on accuracy as well as speed.

What your result means

Typing Toolkit reports WPM, accuracy and errors. Your recent results can be stored locally in this browser so you can compare attempts without creating an account. A higher WPM with poor accuracy is not automatically an improvement, so watch both measures together.
