How many words can you type in 60 seconds? Find out right now. One minute, real words, and a score you can actually compare: your typing speed in words per minute, plus your accuracy. WHY PEOPLE KEEP COMING BACK A typing test tells you where you are. This one makes you want to try again. • Letter-by-letter feedback as you type • Made a typo? Backspace and fix it, like a real keyboard • A combo counter that rewards clean streaks • Your record, your progress curve, your day streak FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic - 60 seconds, the reference test • Sprint - 30 seconds, every stroke counts • Marathon - 3 minutes, hold your pace • Sudden defeat - one mistake and it is over • Daily challenge - the same words for every player in the world, every day A SCORE THAT MEANS SOMETHING Speed is measured the way every serious typing test measures it: five keystrokes to a standard word, so a run full of short words does not flatter you. Beginners land around 20-35 WPM, a comfortable office pace is 60-80, and 100 is genuinely fast. CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD One leaderboard per language, so you are compared with people typing the same words as you. Twenty-eight achievements to unlock along the way, from your first 40 WPM to a million words typed. TRAIN IN 13 LANGUAGES English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, Vietnamese, Arabic and Hungarian, each with its own word list. The language you type in is separate from the language of the app: practise Spanish with a menu in English if that suits you. BUILT TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY Native iOS, no loading screens, no clutter. The keyboard is stripped down to the letters, with autocorrect and suggestions turned off, so nothing types for you. Validate a word with space, enter, or the keyboard's own action key. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Nothing to sign up for. Your scores live on your device and stay there. Play offline on a plane or in the metro; sign in to Game Center only if you want the leaderboards. Students, developers, writers, or anyone tired of hunting for keys: sixty seconds a day is enough to get faster. Ready? Your first minute starts now.
