This typing test is built for a physical keyboard. It works with an on-screen keyboard too, but your scores will usually be well below what you reach on a computer.

Measure your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy – with different word lists, durations from 30 seconds to 5 minutes and ten modes: Standard, Sprint, Sudden Death, Combo, Three Lives, Survival, Avalanche, Blind flight, Speed ladder and Cruise control.
Compete on the live leaderboard, in the daily challenge and in daily, weekly and monthly events. Challenge friends with a link, climb the weekly league and earn a place in the Hall of Fame.
Race your own personal best as a ghost, let the weak-key training drill the letters you miss most and follow your level, badges and daily quests on your progress page.
Touch typing means typing with all ten fingers without looking at the keyboard. These four steps build a clean technique before you chase speed.
Sit upright and plant both feet firmly on the floor. Raise your forearms slightly so your wrists and shoulders stay relaxed. Let your thumbs hover over the space bar and rest your fingers on A, S, D, F and J, K, L, ;.
Move away from the home position only as far as each keystroke needs, then return your fingers to A, S, D, F and J, K, L, ; right away. Use the bumps on F and J as guides and breathe calmly.
Keep your elbows close to your body and set the keyboard at a comfortable angle. Take short breaks or shake out your fingers as soon as you feel tension – that way you can practise touch typing for the long term without overuse. More on desk setup and breaks: ergonomics for heavy typists; which keyboard suits you: mechanical vs. membrane.
Look at WPM, accuracy, errors and streak together. If speed rises while accuracy drops, slow down – errors cost more time than they save. How to type with fewer errors is covered in the guide to typing accuracy.
Compare only runs with the same word list, duration and mode. Note your daily form and distractions if you keep a training log.
Set weekly goals such as 65 WPM at 97 percent accuracy or five error-free Sudden Death runs. Daily quests, badges and your daily streak give you small goals for every session.
Each link opens the typing test with the matching settings.
One word counts as five characters. FastFingerRace divides the correctly typed characters by five and scales the result to one minute. Incorrect characters do not count, so accuracy directly affects your WPM.
Many people who type occasionally reach around 30 to 40 WPM. From about 60 WPM with more than 95 percent accuracy you type quickly, and 80 WPM and above is very fast. Accuracy matters more than raw speed at the start.
60 seconds is the most common duration and easy to compare. Short runs of 30 seconds or the Sprint mode (25 words) are good for bursts of speed; 3 to 5 minutes show how well you keep your pace and accuracy.
Standard measures your WPM over a fixed time. Sprint times 25 words. In Sudden Death the first mistake ends the run, in Three Lives every wrong word costs a life. Combo multiplies your points for long streaks. In Survival correct words buy you time, and in Avalanche words pile up faster and faster until you can no longer keep up. In Blind flight you type each word from memory, the Speed ladder raises the target speed by 5 WPM every eight words, and Cruise control only counts words that stay on your own beat.
Every saved game earns experience points that raise your level and unlock badges. Three new daily quests await you every day, and each week you compete in a league group against players of your tier – the best move up. Everything is on your progress page.
With ten minutes of daily practice, many beginners make the switch in four to six weeks. Stay consistently in the home row position and correct errors immediately so that wrong movement patterns do not creep in.
Note WPM, accuracy and typical errors after each test. Compare them with past sessions under the same settings and set milestones, such as 5 WPM more per week or a steady accuracy of 98 percent.
The typing test is free and you can start right away without signing up. With a free account your results are saved, you appear on the leaderboard, collect experience and badges, race your own ghost and take part in events and leagues.
