A NUMBER. A STARTING POINT.
Take a typing test.
Find your rhythm.
Measure correct words per minute, characters per minute and accuracy. Then turn your result into a friendly challenge on the same passage and timer.
Open the typing test ↗Three free plays per game · one free competition attemptYOUR NEXT TEST
15, 30 or 60 seconds.
Keep the conditions fair.
Open the Typing Test, choose a duration and copy the passage. The result shows WPM, CPM and accuracy. Try 60 seconds when you want a repeatable baseline; a short test is a different task from a longer one.
Compare sessions on a similar keyboard with the same timer. Notice whether a higher speed also kept your accuracy steady. One unusually good or bad run is less useful than a pattern over several sessions.
The website offers three free Typing Test plays. A competition attempt has its own one-attempt guest allowance. Open the test when you are ready to use a play.
UNDERSTAND YOUR SCORE
A simple WPM calculator.
Enter correct characters and elapsed seconds to see the five-character-word calculation. This calculator is an estimate, not a verified test or leaderboard submission.
The formula: correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes. Online Keymere tests use the selected test duration. Different tools may handle errors and corrections differently, so scores are not always directly interchangeable.
BRING A FRIEND
Same words.
Same time. Your turns.
- Finish an online Typing Test and use the result’s share/compete action.
- Create a challenge and copy its link.
- Your friend opens the link and chooses Take the challenge.
- Compare results on the shared leaderboard, then share it onward.
Challenges are asynchronous, so you do not need to be online together. Results rank by correct WPM, accuracy and CPM; exact ties share a rank. Each person gets one result on a challenge, and links expire after 30 days.
Guests get a generated name and avatar. A linked lifetime account supports a chosen profile and more competitions. Use a nickname you are comfortable showing on a shared leaderboard.

Look beyond a single high score.
Paid online profiles include a 30-day typing graph, lifetime average and best WPM, recent results and a daily 60-second challenge. Optional email reminders can be turned off or unsubscribed from.
Spend a few minutes on a repeated typo, then test again another day. Games add variety: Keyfall exercises finding keys, Wordfall is a spelling puzzle, and the Typewriter offers creative writing. They measure different things.
The $19.99 USD lifetime license includes the Windows app for up to three active PCs and paid web features when linked to your account. Offline practice does not become verified online history.
A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Before you begin.
Is this a free unlimited typing test?
The website offers three free plays of the Typing Test and one free competition attempt. Paid access is linked to a lifetime license. The score calculator on this page is a separate explanatory tool.
Do I compete live against my friend?
No. Shared challenges are asynchronous. Both people use the same passage and duration, then compare the leaderboard.
What should I focus on to type faster?
Start with accurate repetitions and consistent test conditions. Review repeated mistakes and compare several sessions; Keymere does not promise a particular speed increase.
