About the Home row test
For one minute, practice typing short groups of keys from your selected practice language.
Speed on the home row is the foundation of touch typing. If you can do this without looking, every other key is just a short reach away.

Home Row typing test FAQ
How long is the Home row 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.
