Taking a typing test
01
Choose your time
Choose 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or a custom duration. Start with a short test, then keep the duration and text settings the same when comparing results.
02
Type what you see
Press Enter or select Start typing. Copy the passage, including spaces and punctuation. Focus on accuracy before speed.
03
Learn from your result
Check your speed, accuracy, and mistakes. Practise the keys you missed, then try again with the same settings to compare your progress.
Understanding your result
WPM · your speed
Words per minute: correct characters divided by five, then divided by elapsed minutes. Spaces and punctuation count too. For example, 200 correct characters in one minute is 40 WPM.
Accuracy · your precision
The percentage of your character inputs that were correct. If 95 out of 100 inputs are correct, your accuracy is 95%. Fixing a typo helps your text, but the original mistake still counts.
Practice and saved progress
Which test duration should I choose?
A 30-second test is a quick check. One minute gives you more time to settle into a rhythm. Choose 5 or 10 minutes to practise maintaining accuracy for longer. Compare attempts with the same duration.
Why does my speed change between tests?
Unfamiliar words, punctuation, tiredness, and test length can affect your result. Keep your settings consistent and compare several attempts. If speed rises while accuracy falls, slow down and practise the mistakes before trying again.
How should a beginner practise?
Type at a comfortable pace and notice which keys cause mistakes. Practise those keys or letter pairs slowly, then return to a short passage. Compare several tests with the same settings; steady accuracy is more useful than one unusually fast result.
Do I need an account?
You can try a test and see your result as a guest. Log in to save progress to your account and revisit your history. Keep a guest result open until you have saved it.
Choose your typing game
Try Linkey for letter-by-letter practice or Funtype for varied activities. Each game has its own controls and goals. Available levels depend on your plan.
Snakey
Keyboard control and reactions
Snakey combines a snake arcade game with keyboard challenges. You need to notice what is happening on the course while finding the requested keys. This makes it a useful change of pace from typing a continuous paragraph.
Open Snakey and choose an available level. Read the instructions for that challenge before starting.
Follow the on-screen key prompts and watch how the course changes. Prioritize the correct input over pressing keys quickly.
Repeat a familiar challenge to build consistency before moving to a more demanding one.
Linkey turns letter-by-letter typing into a drawing activity. As you enter the requested letters, the lines connect and the picture is revealed. The collections give each session a visual goal, which can make careful keyboard practice easier to stick with.
Open Linkey, choose an available collection, and select an unlocked picture.
Read and type the next requested letter to continue the drawing. Focus on the current prompt rather than guessing the next key.
Finish the picture, then choose another level or repeat a familiar one with fewer pauses.
Funtype brings several keyboard activities into one arcade. Fruit Up, Maze, Spider, and Nature Type offer different visual challenges, so you can change the activity while continuing to practice recognizing and entering keys.
Open Funtype and choose an available activity. Read its instructions because the objective changes between games.
For Maze, type the path letters toward the green exit and watch the enemy warnings. In Nature Type, type the letters shown as leaves drift down.
After a short session, repeat the same activity to practice consistency or choose another activity for a different challenge.
Wordshot 3D puts keyboard practice into a city shooting game. Typed prompts are part of the action, so you need to read the current target carefully while keeping track of the mission. It suits practice sessions where you want a more demanding visual challenge.
Open Wordshot 3D and select an unlocked mission. Complete preceding missions to unlock later challenges.
Follow the mission instructions and type the current target prompt. Read the full word before trying to rush through it.
Use the pause control when you need a break. Repeat a completed mission to work on more accurate inputs.
Gravix places keyboard challenges inside a space adventure. The situation changes as you progress through the available phases, asking you to pay attention to the current objective as well as the letters or words you enter.
Start Gravix at Phase 1. Completing a phase unlocks the next; phases 3 and 4 also require Pro. Read the current objective before beginning.
Follow the on-screen typing prompts while watching the encounter. Aim for accurate input before increasing your pace.
Use repeated attempts to learn a challenge, and take a break when your accuracy starts to drop.
A game score reflects its rules, reactions, and level difficulty. Use games to practise, then take a test with the same settings to compare your WPM and accuracy.
