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 usetabandenter(or justtabif you have quick tab mode enabled) to restart the typing test. Open the command line by pressingctrl/cmd+shift+poresc- there you can access all the functionality you need without touching your mouse
stats
wpm - total amount 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.
When you connect your monkeytype account to your Discord account, you will be automatically assigned a new role every time you achieve a new personal best in a 60 second test. If you link your accounts before joining the Discord server, the bot will not give you a role.

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.

more account settings
You can access more account settings (such as changing your name, password, resetting or deleting your account) in the danger zone section.
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).

opposite shift mode
This mode will force you to use oppositeshiftkeys for shifting. Using an incorrect one will count as an error. This feature ignores keys in locationsB,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.
