Frequently asked questions

What is a WPM typing test?

It shows how many words you type per minute. One word counts as five characters, which is the international standard, so WPM equals your correct characters divided by five.

What is CPM and how is it calculated?

CPM is characters per minute. Here it counts only characters in words you typed correctly, plus spaces. Divide it by five to get WPM.

How are the words chosen?

Words are picked at random from a list of very common English words. Random words test your typing itself, because you can't predict the next word the way you can in a sentence.

Is this test free?

Yes. No signup, no download, unlimited attempts. It also works as a typing test for kids.

Who invented the QWERTY keyboard?

Christopher Latham Sholes designed the QWERTY layout in the 1860s for the first commercially successful typewriter. It spread the most common letter pairs apart to reduce jams.

Which layout should I use for ten-finger typing?

Start with the standard home row: ASDF for your left hand and JKL; for your right. Alternative layouts like Dvorak exist, but learn the standard one first.
