Type the passage shown as fast and accurately as you can. Your words per minute and accuracy are measured live as you type, so you can see exactly where you're losing time or making mistakes.

How it works

Words per minute is calculated the standard way — every 5 typed characters count as one word — divided by the elapsed time since your first keystroke. Accuracy tracks every character position you ever mistyped, even ones you later corrected, so a clean final result only comes from typing it right the first time.

Worked example

If you type a 100-character passage correctly in 24 seconds, that's 20 words typed in 0.4 minutes — 50 WPM — and if you never mistyped a character along the way, 100% accuracy.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timer start as soon as the page loads?

No — the timer only starts on your very first keystroke, so reading the passage first doesn't cost you any time.

What happens if I make a mistake?

The character turns red and it counts against your accuracy even if you backspace and fix it, since the goal is to measure real typing precision, not just the final result.

Can I get a different passage?

Yes — hit Try Again for a fresh, randomly chosen passage.
