About the 1-minute typing test

Type the words as they appear for 60 seconds. When the minute is up you see your speed in words per minute (WPM), your accuracy and a chart of where you sped up and slowed down.

A minute is long enough to show your real pace rather than one good burst, and short enough to take a few times in a row. Take three and look at the average: your first test of the day is often the slowest.

No account is needed: your results stay in your browser, and a free account keeps them on every device. Want another length? The full speed test has 15 seconds to 5 minutes, word counts and quotes.
