Speed Typing Test & WPM Practice
The 60-second mode above is a speed typing test — type as much accurate text as you can before the timer hits zero. The score it returns (words per minute) is the standard WPM benchmark used in schools and most professional typing tests. Run it once a week and you have a clean WPM practice loop without buying any software.
For longer-format speed typing practice, switch to the 3-minute mode. The longer test averages out a lucky run and gives a more reliable WPM number — especially useful for 4th and 5th graders pushing toward 30+ WPM.
Our Type Master game is the closest game-mode equivalent of this typing test, and our Speed Racer game is the most direct WPM-builder among the typing race-style games.
