Frequently asked questions
Is this typing test really free?
Yes. Every test and game on TryTyping is free, with no account, no download and no trial. The site is supported by ads so the tests stay open to everyone.
Do I need to sign up to see my WPM?
No. Your words per minute, accuracy and score appear the moment the timer ends, and your personal bests are saved privately in your own browser.
How accurate is a free online typing test?
It uses the same standard as paid tests: five correctly typed characters count as one word, and mistakes are excluded from your WPM. Take it twice and use the better run as your true speed.
Which test length should I choose?
Use 60 seconds for the benchmark schools and employers quote, 15 or 30 seconds for a quick warm-up, and 5 minutes when you want to prove you can hold the pace.
