about
Monkeytype is a minimalistic typing test, featuring many test
modes, an account system to save your typing speed history and
user configurable features like themes, a smooth caret and more.
word set
By default, the 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 options, or change
the language entirely.
keybinds
You can use
tab
and
enter
(or just
tab
if you have (
quick tab mode enabled
) to restart the typing test. Open the command line by pressing
esc
- there you can access all the functionality you need without
touching your mouse.
stats
wpm - total amount of characters in the correctly typed words
(including spaces), divided by 5 and normalised to 60 seconds.
raw wpm - calculated just like wpm, but 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 wpm, raw
wpm, accuracy, character stats, test length, leaderboards 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 average, while the raw wpm line is a local, momentary
value. (meaning if you stop, the value is 0)

tip: You can also change all these settings quickly using the
command line (
esc
)
For testing purposes, account config synchronisation has been
temporarily disabled (only local config will be remembered). Sorry
for the inconvenience.
account
discord integration
When you connect your monkeytype account to your Discord
account, you will be automatically assigned a new role every
time you achieve a new personal best in a 60 second test.
Don't pair your account before joining the Discord server, as
it might result in the bot not being able to give you a role.
Your accounts are paired!
behaviour
test difficulty
Normal is the classic type 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 tab mode
Press
tab
to quickly restart the test, or to quickly jump to the test
page. This function disables tab navigation on the website.
blind mode
No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to
focus on raw speed. If enabled, quick 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 enabled, it 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 wpm
Automatically fails a test if your WPM falls below a
threshold.
min accuracy
Automatically fails a test if your accuracy falls below a
threshold.
input
sound
play sound on click
Plays a short sound when you press a key.
play sound on error
Plays a short sound if you press an incorrect key or press
space too early.
caret
smooth caret
The caret will move smoothly between letters and words.
caret style
Change the style of the caret during the test.
pace caret
Displays a second caret that moves at constant speed.
pace caret style
Change the style of the pace caret during the test.
appearance
timer/progress style
Change the style of the timer/progress during a timed test.
timer/progress color
Change the color of the timer/progress number/bar and live wpm
number.
timer/progress opacity
Change the opacity of the timer/progress number/bar and live
wpm number.
highlight mode
Change what is highlighted during the test.
show all lines
When enabled, the website will show all lines for word, custom
and quote mode tests - otherwise the lines will be limited to
3, and will automatically scroll. Using this could cause the
timer text and live wpm to not be visible.
always show decimal places
Always shows decimal places for values on the result page,
without the need to hover over the stats.
always show cpm
Always shows characters per minute calculation instead of the
default words per minute calculation.
start graphs at zero
Force graph axis to always start at zero, no matter what the
data is. Turning this off may exaggerate the value changes.
keymap
Displays your current layout while taking a test. React shows
what you pressed and Next shows what you need to press next.
font size
Change the font size of the test words.
page width
Control the width of the content.
theme
flip test colors
By default, typed text is brighter than the future text. When
enabled, the colors will be flipped and the future text will
be brighter than the already typed text.
colorful mode
When enabled, the test words will use the main color, instead
of the text color, making the website more colorful.
randomise theme
After completing a test, the theme will be set to a random
one. The random themes are not saved to your config. If set to
'fav' only favourite themes will be randomised.
hide elements
live wpm
Displays a live WPM speed during the test. Updates once every
second.
live accuracy
Displays live accuracy during the test. Updates once every
second.
timer/progress
Displays a live timer for timed tests and progress for
words/custom tests.
key tips
Shows the keybind tips at the bottom of the page.
out of focus warning
Shows an out of focus reminder after 1 second of being 'out of
focus' (not being able to type).
danger zone
import/export settings
Import or export the settings as JSON.
enable ads
If you wish to support me without directly donating you can
enable ads that will be visible at the bottom of the screen.
Sellout mode also shows ads on both sides of the screen.
(changes will take effect after a refresh).
reset settings
Resets settings to the default (but doesn't touch your tags).
Warning: you can't undo this action!
update account email
In case you misspell it or get a new address.
delete account
This can't be undone! Also, if you want to delete your account
because of a very high 'custom mode' result, you can use
filters on the account page to hide those results.
