15 Second Typing Test

The 15-second typing test is a fast sprint that measures your words per minute and accuracy in a single short burst. It is perfect for a quick warm-up before a longer session, for squeezing in practice between tasks, or for chasing a high score when you only have a few seconds to spare.

Because the clock runs out almost instantly, every keystroke matters — there is no time to recover from a slow start, so the 15-second format rewards sharp reflexes and a steady rhythm. Type as many correct words as you can before time expires, then restart to try again right away.
