10 Word Typing Test
The 10 word typing test asks you to type exactly 10 words as fast and accurately as you can. Unlike a timed test, the goal is fixed: finish the 10 words and your speed is calculated from how long it took you.
Short word-count tests are ideal for a quick check or a warm-up. With only 10 words on screen there is nowhere to hide a mistake, so this format is a great way to train clean, deliberate keystrokes.

Frequently asked questions
How does a 10 word typing test work?
You type a fixed set of 10 words. The timer starts on your first keystroke and stops on the last word, then your WPM and accuracy are calculated from your time.
Word count test or timed test — which is better?
Word-count tests fix the amount you type so every run is directly comparable, while timed tests fix the clock. Both report the same WPM and accuracy, so use whichever you prefer.
Is it free to use?
Yes — the 10 word typing test and every other mode on Sticking are free, with no download or account required.
