Click the input field and start typing the displayed text to begin the 30-second timer. Your WPM and accuracy update live as you type. Characters turn green when correct and red when wrong. Choose between Code mode (real JavaScript snippets), Dev Words mode (programming vocabulary), or Quotes mode (famous developer quotes). When the timer ends, your final results are displayed.

The average developer types between 50–80 WPM. Anything above 80 WPM is considered fast. Most professional programmers prioritize accuracy over raw speed — a consistent 60 WPM with 98% accuracy is more valuable than 90 WPM with frequent errors.
WPM (words per minute) is calculated as the number of characters typed divided by 5 (the average word length), divided by the elapsed time in minutes. This tool uses the standard gross WPM formula.
Yes — the 30-second timer starts the moment you type your first character. There is no countdown, so you can take your time reading the text before you begin.
