One-minute English typing practice

Type useful English words accurately for 60 seconds. Words per minute uses the standard five-correct-characters measure; accuracy is the percentage of submitted words that were exactly right.

Start the typing test

Choose a vocabulary level. Type the displayed word and press Space or Enter; an exactly completed word also moves on automatically. Escape or the Skip button records a miss. Best WPM is saved only when accuracy is at least 90%.

What the result means

WPM is correct characters divided by five for one minute. It is comparable across short and long words. Accuracy is correct submitted words divided by all submitted or skipped words.

This is vocabulary typing, not a general office-typing certificate: the word list is deliberately limited and repeats. Use it to make familiar English spellings automatic, then practise complete sentences elsewhere.

Keep practising

If a word is unfamiliar, learn it in Word listening. If you recognize it but miss the letters, use Spelling from sound or Word scramble.
