About the Hard words test
The hard words typing test drops the easy vocabulary and gives you long, awkward words — eight letters and up. You have one minute.
Common-word tests flatter everyone. This one shows how fast you really are when you cannot rely on words your fingers already know.
Tips for a better score
- 1
Break long words into syllables as you type.
- 2
Accuracy collapses first on long words — watch it.
- 3
Expect 20–30% fewer WPM than on a normal test.
Hard Words typing test FAQ
How long is the Hard words test?
It runs for 1 minute. The clock starts on your first keystroke and the test stops automatically at zero.
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.
