About the 1-Minute Typing Test

A focused, one-minute run to measure honest WPM, accuracy, and rhythm—no fluff, just results.

How it works

  1. Timer is fixed at 60 seconds.
  2. Type what you see—only correct characters count toward WPM.
  3. At the end you’ll get WPM, accuracy, errors, KPS, and a tiny trend line.

Tip: keep eyes on the text, not the keyboard. Smooth pace beats bursts.

1-Minute Test FAQ

How is WPM calculated?

Correct characters only ÷ 5 ÷ active minutes. Mistyped characters never boost WPM.

What about accuracy and backspace?

Accuracy = correct ÷ total typed. Fixing with backspace improves accuracy, and the error still appears in the heat map.

Can I pause?

Yes: Ctrl+P. Paused time is excluded from scoring.

Why the Caps Lock badge?

To prevent accidental ALL-CAPS, which hurt accuracy.
