about
Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features
many test modes, an account system to save your typing speed history, and
user-configurable features such as themes, sounds, a smooth caret, and
more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate the experience of natural keyboard
typing during a typing test, by unobtrusively presenting the text prompts
and displaying typed characters in-place, providing straightforward,
real-time feedback on typos, speed, and accuracy.
Test yourself in various modes, track your progress and improve your
speed.
word set
By default, this website uses the most common 200 words in the English
language to generate its tests. You can change to an expanded set (1000
most common words) in the options, or change the language entirely.
keybinds
You can use
tab
and
enter
(or just
tab
if you have quick tab mode enabled) to restart the typing test. Open the
command line by pressing
ctrl/cmd
+
shift
+
p
or
esc
- there you can access all the functionality you need without touching
your mouse.
stats
wpm - total number of characters in the correctly typed words (including
spaces), divided by 5 and normalised to 60 seconds.
raw wpm - calculated just like wpm, but also includes incorrect words.
acc - percentage of correctly pressed keys.
char - correct characters / incorrect characters. Calculated after the
test has ended.
consistency - based on the variance of your raw wpm. Closer to 100% is
better. Calculated using the coefficient of variation of raw wpm and
mapped onto a scale from 0 to 100.
results screen
After completing a test you will be able to see your wpm, raw wpm,
accuracy, character stats, test length, leaderboards info and test info.
(you can hover over some values to get floating point numbers). You can
also see a graph of your wpm and raw over the duration of the test.
Remember that the wpm line is a global average, while the raw wpm line is
a local, momentary value. (meaning if you stop, the value is 0)
bug report or feature request
If you encounter a bug, or have a feature request - join the Discord
server, send me an email, a direct message on Twitter or create an issue
on GitHub.
support
Thanks to everyone who has supported this project. It would not be
possible without you and your continued support.
contact
If you encounter a bug, have a feature request or just want to say hi -
here are the different ways you can contact me directly.
Account settings have moved. You can now access them by hovering over the
account button in the top right corner, then clicking "Account settings".
tags
With tags, you can compare how fast you're typing in different
situations. You can see your active tags above the test words. They will
remain active until you deactivate them, or refresh the page.
presets
Create settings presets that can be applied with one click. Remember to
edit your preset if you make any changes - they don't save on their own.
test difficulty
Normal is the classic type test experience. Expert fails the test if you
submit (press space) an incorrect word. Master fails if you press a
single incorrect key (meaning you have to achieve 100% accuracy).
quick restart
Press
tab
,
esc
or
enter
to quickly restart the test, or to quickly jump to the test page. These
options disable tab navigation on most parts of the website. Using the
"esc" option will move opening the commandline to the
tab
key.
repeat quotes
This setting changes the restarting behavior when typing in quote mode.
Changing it to 'typing' will repeat the quote if you restart while
typing.
blind mode
No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to focus on raw
speed. If enabled, quick end is recommended.
always show words history
This option will automatically show the words history at the end of the
test. Can cause slight lag with a lot of words.
single list command line
When enabled, it will show the command line with all commands in a
single list instead of submenu arrangements. Selecting 'manual' will
expose all commands only after typing
>
.
min speed
Automatically fails a test if your speed falls below a threshold.
min accuracy
Automatically fails a test if your accuracy falls below a threshold.
min burst
Automatically fails a test if your raw for a single word falls below
this threshold. Selecting 'flex' allows for this threshold to
automatically decrease for longer words.
british english
When enabled, the website will use the British spelling instead of
American. Note that this might not replace all words correctly. If you
find any issues, please let us know.
language
Change in which language you want to type.
funbox
These are special modes that change the website in some special way (by
altering the word generation, behavior of the website or the looks).
Give each one of them a try!
custom layoutfluid
Select which layouts you want the layoutfluid funbox to cycle through.
freedom mode
Allows you to delete any word, even if it was typed correctly.
strict space
Pressing space at the beginning of a word will insert a space character
when this mode is enabled.
opposite shift mode
This mode will force you to use opposite
shift
keys for shifting. Using an incorrect one will count as an error. This
feature ignores keys in locations
B
,
Y
, and
^
because many people use the other hand for those keys. If you're using
external software to emulate your layout (including QMK), you should use
the "keymap" mode - the standard "on" will not work. This will enforce
opposite shift based on the "keymap layout" setting.
stop on error
Letter mode will stop input when pressing any incorrect letters. Word
mode will not allow you to continue to the next word until you correct
all mistakes.
confidence mode
When enabled, you will not be able to go back to previous words to fix
mistakes. When turned up to the max, you won't be able to backspace at
all.
quick end
This only applies to the words mode - when enabled, the test will end as
soon as the last word has been typed, even if it's incorrect. When
disabled, you need to manually confirm the last incorrect entry with a
space.
indicate typos
Shows typos that you've made. Below shows what you typed below the
letters and replace will replace the letters with the ones you typed.
hide extra letters
Hides extra letters. This will completely avoid words jumping lines (due
to changing width), but might feel a bit confusing when you press a key
and nothing happens.
lazy mode
Replaces accents / diacritics / special characters with their normal
letter equivalents.
layout emulator
With this setting you can emulate other layouts. This setting is best
kept off, as it can break things like dead keys and alt layers.
code unindent on backspace
Automatically go back to the previous line when deleting line leading
tab characters. Only works in code languages.
sound volume
Change the volume of the sound effects.
100
play sound on click
Plays a short sound when you press a key.
play sound on error
Plays a short sound if you press an incorrect key or press space too
early.
smooth caret
The caret will move smoothly between letters and words.
caret style
Change the style of the caret during the test.
pace caret
Displays a second caret that moves at constant speed. The 'average'
option averages the speed of last 10 results. The 'tag pb' option takes
the highest PB of any active tag. The 'daily' option takes the highest
speed of the last 24 hours.
repeated pace
When repeating a test, a pace caret will automatically be enabled for
one test with the speed of your previous test. It does not override the
pace caret if it's already enabled.
pace caret style
Change the style of the pace caret during the test.
live progress style
Change the style of the timer/word count during a test.
live speed style
Change the style of the live speed displayed during the test.

live stats opacity
Change the opacity of the progress, live speed, burst and accuracy text.
highlight mode
Change what is highlighted during the test.
tape mode
Only shows one line which scrolls horizontally. Setting this to 'word'
will make it scroll after every word and 'letter' will scroll after
every keypress. Works best with smooth line scroll enabled and a
monospace font.
smooth line scroll
When enabled, the line transition will be animated.
show all lines
When enabled, the website will show all lines for word, custom and quote
mode tests - otherwise the lines will be limited to 3, and will
automatically scroll. Using this could cause the timer text and live
speed to not be visible.
00
always show decimal places
Always shows decimal places for values on the result page, without the
need to hover over the stats.
typing speed unit
Display typing speed in the specified unit.
start graphs at zero
Force graph axis to always start at zero, no matter what the data is.
Turning this off may exaggerate the value changes.
max line width
Change the maximum width of the typing test, measured in characters.
Setting this to 0 will align the words to the edges of the content area.
font size
Change the font size of the test words.
