1 Minute Typing Test
One fixed duration, easy comparisons — perfect for a daily check-in.
This page is locked to a single duration on purpose: 60 seconds. Keeping the duration constant means every attempt is directly comparable — track your progress day over day without a variable getting in the way.
A minute is enough for a quick read on your speed without demanding the patience of a longer test. If you're preparing for something with real stakes — a job typing test, a certification — the 3 or 5 minute versions give a more realistic picture of sustained pace.
Words are drawn randomly from a common English pool, and a mistyped character has to be corrected before you can continue — so the number you see is net WPM, accuracy included.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 1-minute test accurate enough?
It's a good quick snapshot for daily practice, but fatigue and focus loss don't have time to show up in 60 seconds. For anything with real stakes, use the 3 or 5 minute test.
What's a typical 1-minute WPM?
Everyday typists land around 35-45 WPM. Touch typists comfortably clear 60 WPM in a one-minute burst.
Should I test every day?
Testing daily at a fixed duration is one of the simplest ways to see real progress — your personal best is saved automatically so you can track it over time.
