about

Monkey-type 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 wpm line is a local, momentary raw value. (meaning if you stop, the value is 0)

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.

freedom mode

Allows you to delete any word, even if it was typed correctly.

off

on

confidence mode

When enabled, you will not be able to go back to previous words to fix mistakes. When turned up to the max, you won't be able to backspace at all.

off

on

max

stop on error

When enabled, incorrect input will not be registered and words need to be 100% correct to be able to move on to the next.

off

on

blind mode

No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to focus on raw speed. If enabled, quick end is recommended.

off

⠀

quick end

This only applies to the words mode - when enabled, the test will end as soon as the last word has been typed, even if it's incorrect. When disabled, you need to manually confirm the last incorrect entry with a space.

off

on

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.

off

on

discord integration

When you connect your monkey-type 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.
