1 Minute Typing Test
The one-minute typing test is the standard benchmark most people use to measure typing speed. Over 60 seconds you get a balanced reading of your real words per minute and accuracy — long enough to settle into a rhythm, short enough to stay sharp from the first word to the last.
A one-minute run smooths out the lucky and unlucky moments of a short sprint, so the WPM you see here is a reliable number you can track, compare on the leaderboard, and work to improve over time.
