About Typing Speed
Typing Speed turns a piece of practical adult life — typing fast and accurately — into a fun arcade game. Real sentences scroll on screen and you race to match them keystroke for keystroke. Your speed in words per minute and your accuracy percentage are updated live, so every test feels like a real measurement of how you are doing.
What makes Typing Speed work as a game (and not just a drill) is how clearly you see progress. Your first test might feel humbling. Your fifth feels measurably better. Within a week you start typing 10 to 20 WPM faster in real work, and the game is the reason. It is genuinely useful in a way most browser games are not — and it is just satisfying enough to play for the score alone.
This version of Typing Speed is free, browser-based and works on any keyboard-capable device. It is one of the best games on the site to leave open in a tab and dip into for a one-minute warm-up before real work. Your best speed and accuracy are saved locally so you can watch your numbers climb session over session.

— Strategy & tips
How to win
- Accuracy first, speed second. Going back to fix typos costs more time than typing carefully.
- Do not look at the keys. The keyboard never moves; trust your fingers.
- Type whole words, not whole sentences. Reading ahead one word is enough.
- Use the home row position even if it feels slower at first. It pays off within a week.
- Practise in short bursts. Five minutes of focused practice beats thirty minutes of tired practice.
