How the daily typing test works
Everyone who takes the test on the same date types the same text, so the results are a fair comparison. Type it once and you see your speed in words per minute, your accuracy, and how you rank against everyone else who has taken it so far. You get one try a day, and a new text comes out at midnight where you are.

Why take a typing test every day?
Typing speed improves with short, regular practice far more than with the occasional long session. A daily test gives you one fair number to track each day: the same length, a fresh text, and a comparison with everyone who typed it, so you can see whether you are actually getting faster. Keep your streak going, and use the rest of SureTyping to work on what the test shows.

Daily typing test questions
- What is the daily typing test?
- A free typing test that changes once a day. Everyone who takes it that day types the same text, so the results can be compared fairly. You get one try, and afterwards you see your words per minute, your accuracy, and how you rank against everyone else who took it.
- When does the daily typing test change?
- At midnight in your own time zone. Each date has one text, so everyone typing on the same date gets the same test.
- Why do some days have a rule?
- To vary the challenge. Some days Backspace is turned off, some days the first wrong key ends the test, and some days the text is common words with no capitals or punctuation. The rules come round in the same order, so you can see what is coming this week below.
- How is my typing speed worked out?
- Your speed is net words per minute: only words typed correctly count, and every 5 characters, spaces included, count as one word. Accuracy is the share of keys you pressed correctly. Players are ranked by speed. If a no-mistakes day ends your test early, your speed is scaled by how much of the text you got through.
- Can I take the daily typing test more than once?
- No. Like a daily puzzle, you get one try a day, so every result is a first attempt at the same text. Come back tomorrow for a new one, or take a normal typing test on the home page as often as you like.
- Do I need an account?
- No. The daily test is free and works without signing in. With an account your name can appear among the fastest typists of the day, and your streak follows you to any device.
- What is a good score on the daily typing test?
- Across a large study of typists (Dhakal et al., 2018) the average was about 52 WPM, and the fastest 10% typed above about 78 WPM. The daily test also shows exactly where you stand against everyone who took the same text today.
