Frequently asked questions
What is a good WPM typing speed?
Around 40 WPM is average for an adult, 60 to 80 WPM is good, and 80 WPM or more is professional level. Competitive typists exceed 150 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (characters typed / 5) / minutes elapsed. The five character convention includes spaces and is the standard used by typing tests and transcription employers.
What's the difference between WPM and raw WPM?
Raw WPM counts everything you typed, mistakes included. Net WPM, the headline number, only counts correctly typed characters, so a big gap between the two means accuracy is your bottleneck.
How can I improve my typing speed?
Keep your fingers on home row, never look down, and slow down until your accuracy is above 97 percent — speed built on errors does not stick. Short daily sessions beat occasional long ones.
Can I take the typing test on a phone?
You can, but the on-screen keyboard and autocorrect distort the result. For a comparable score use a physical keyboard.

About this typing speed test
This is the 30 second typing speed test — every score on the board comes from runs locked to the same window, so the ranking is a like-for-like fight. Thirty seconds turns the run into a pacing problem. The first ten feel easy, the middle ten expose your technique, and the final ten decide the ranking — rhythm beats panic every time on this board. As a benchmark, holding 40 WPM for the full run is about 20 words, while 80 WPM — the Professional tier — needs roughly 40. Favor accuracy over raw speed — an uncorrected typo costs more than a fast keystroke — and read one word ahead of what you are typing.
