About the easy typing test

This easy typing test uses short, common words (four letters or fewer) with no capitals or punctuation, so you can focus on finger placement and rhythm.

  1. 01

    Made for beginners

    Short words let new typists build confidence and a steady rhythm. If you are still learning the keys, start with the home row lessons and come back here to check your speed.

    Good for kids too

    Easy words suit young typists. For big letters, finger hints and stickers, try the kids zone.
  3. 03

    How your WPM is calculated

    Every 5 correct characters, including spaces, count as one word. Net WPM only counts correct characters; raw WPM counts every key you press.
