He
was
within
three
yards
of
us,
this
sinister
figure,
and
I
had
braced
myself
to
meet
his
spring,
before
I
realized
that
he
had
no
idea
of
our
presence.
He
passed
close
beside
us,
stole
over
to
the
window,
and
very
softly
and
noiselessly
raised
it
for
half
a
foot.
As
he
sank
to
the
level
of
this
opening,
the
light
of
the
street,
no
longer
dimmed
by
the
dusty
glass,
fell
full
upon
his
face.

Frequently asked questions

WPM and accuracy answers for this 30 seconds typing speed test.

What does this 30 seconds typing speed test measure?

This free 30 seconds typing test measures your words per minute (WPM) and typing accuracy. WPM uses correctly typed characters divided by 5, then by elapsed minutes. Start typing to begin — no signup required — and get results when the timer ends.

What is a good WPM and accuracy score?

A 2018 study of 168,000 online volunteers reported a mean of about 52 WPM (Dhakal et al., CHI 2018). TypingGuild's practice targets are 30 WPM (beginner), 40 WPM (practice goal), and 60 WPM (advanced). Aim for high accuracy first, then raise speed with consistent retesting at the same duration.

Why take a 30 seconds typing test?

A 30 seconds session gives you a timed WPM and accuracy measurement you can repeat later for comparison. Retake it regularly to track your own progress, or try other durations when you want a shorter warm-up or a longer session.
