about
Monkeytype is a minimalistic and customizable typing test. It features many test modesan account system to save your typing speed historyand user-configurable features such as themessoundsa smooth caretand more. Monkeytype attempts to emulate the experience of natural keyboard typing during a typing testby unobtrusively presenting the text prompts and displaying typed characters in-placeproviding straightforwardreal-time feedback on typosspeedand accuracy.
Test yourself in various modestrack your progress and improve your speed.
word set
By defaultthis 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 optionsor change the language entirely.
keybinds
You can use
stats
wpm - total number of characters in the correctly typed words (including spaces)divided by 5 and normalised to 60 seconds.
raw wpm - calculated just like wpmbut 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 wpmraw wpmaccuracycharacter statstest lengthleaderboards 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 averagewhile the raw wpm line is a localmomentary value (meaning if you stopthe value is 0).

tip: You can also change all these settings quickly using the command line (ctrl/cmd +shift +p oresc )
Account settings have moved. You can now access them by hovering over the account button in the top right cornerthen clicking "Account settings".
tags
With tagsyou 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 themor 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.
test difficulty
Normal is the classic typing 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).
quick restart
Presstab ,esc orenter to quickly restart the testor to quickly jump to the test page. These options disable tab navigation on most parts of the website. Using the "esc" option will move opening the commandline to thetab key.
repeat quotes
This setting changes the restarting behavior when typing in quote mode. Changing it to 'typing' will repeat the quote if you restart while typing.
blind mode
No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to focus on raw speed. If enabledquick end is recommended.
always show words history
This option will automatically show the words history at the end of the test. Can cause slight lag with a lot of words.
single list command line
When enabledit will show the command line with all commands in a single list instead of submenu arrangements. Selecting 'manual' will expose all commands only after typing> .
min speed
Automatically fails a test if your speed falls below a threshold.
min accuracy
Automatically fails a test if your accuracy falls below a threshold.
min burst
Automatically fails a test if your raw for a single word falls below this threshold. Selecting 'flex' allows for this threshold to automatically decrease for longer words.
british english
When enabledthe website will use the British spelling instead of American. Note that this might not replace all words correctly. If you find any issuesplease let us know.
language
Change in which language you want to type.
funbox
These are special modes that change the website in some special way (by altering the word generationbehavior of the website or the looks). Give each one of them a try!
custom layoutfluid
Select which layouts you want the layoutfluid funbox to cycle through.
polyglot languages
Select which languages you want the polyglot funbox to use.
freedom mode
Allows you to delete any wordeven if it was typed correctly.
strict space
Pressing space at the beginning of a word will insert a space character when this mode is enabled.
opposite shift mode
This mode will force you to use oppositeshift keys 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.
stop on error
Letter mode will stop input when pressing any incorrect letters. Word mode will not allow you to continue to the next word until you correct all mistakes.
confidence mode
When enabledyou will not be able to go back to previous words to fix mistakes. When turned up to the maxyou won't be able to backspace at all.
quick end
This only applies to the words mode - when enabledthe test will end as soon as the last word has been typedeven if it's incorrect. When disabledyou need to manually confirm the last incorrect entry with a space.
indicate typos
Shows typos that you've made. "Below" shows what you typed below the letters"replace" will replace the letters with the ones you typed and "both" will do the same as replace and belowbut it will show the correct letters below your mistakes.
hide extra letters
Hides extra letters. This will completely avoid words jumping lines (due to changing width)but might feel a bit confusing when you press a key and nothing happens.
composition display
Change how composition is displayed. "off" will just underline the letter if composition is active. "below" will show the composed character below the test. "replace" will replace the letter in the test with the composed character.
lazy mode
Replaces accents / diacritics / special characters with their normal letter equivalents.
layout emulator
With this setting you can emulate other layouts. This setting is best kept offas it can break things like dead keys and alt layers.

tape margin
When in tape modeset the carets position from the left edge of the typing test as a percentage (for example50% centers it).
smooth line scroll
When enabledthe line transition will be animated.
show all lines
When enabledthe website will show all lines for wordcustom and quote mode tests - otherwise the lines will be limited to 3and will automatically scroll. Using this could cause the timer text and live speed to not be visible.
