About the Alphabet A–Z test

Type the practice characters in order as fast as you can. The clock starts on your first key and stops when you finish the sequence.

It takes only a few seconds, which makes it wonderfully repeatable — and a surprisingly good drill for finding letters without looking.

Tips for a better score

  1. 1

    Anything under six seconds is fast; under four is exceptional.

  2. 2

    Keep your fingers on the home row instead of using one finger.

  3. 3

    Repeat it ten times — your time will tumble.

Alphabet A–Z typing test FAQ

How long is the Alphabet A–Z test?
It lasts as long as it takes you — the clock counts up from your first keystroke and stops when you type the final character.
How are WPM and accuracy calculated?
Net WPM counts only correctly typed characters, divided by five (the standard word length) and by the minutes elapsed. Raw WPM counts everything you typed. Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct.
What happens when I make a mistake?
Nothing stops — wrong characters turn red and you can keep typing. Press Backspace to go back and fix them. Uncorrected errors lower your net WPM, and every slip counts against accuracy.
Is this typing test free?
Yes. Every test on ProTypingGames is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser. Your best score is saved on your own device.
