What is a good typing speed?
A useful target depends on your work. Consistent, accurate typing matters more than a single peak score. Use your first result as a baseline and improve from there.

How it works
One focused session, one clear outcome
- 01
Type for 60 seconds
The timer starts with your first keystroke, so setup time never affects the result.
- 02
Review speed and accuracy
See WPM, raw speed, accuracy, consistency, weak keys, and difficult words.
- 03
Practice the limiting skill
TypeHabit recommends one focused drill instead of leaving you with a score alone.
Why practice this
Build skill that carries into real work
- A full minute provides a more stable sample than a short burst.
- Accuracy-adjusted WPM discourages rushing through mistakes.
- No account is required to run or review the test.
- Your result leads directly into targeted practice.
Common questions
What to expect
How is WPM calculated?
WPM is based on correctly typed characters divided into standard five-character words, adjusted for the elapsed time. Accuracy and raw WPM are shown separately.
Should I correct mistakes during the test?
Type naturally. Correcting mistakes reflects real work, while the result still records the errors and keys that interrupted your flow.
