about boredtype

A typing test built for people who'd rather be practicing than reading settings menus — fast to load, no forced sign-up, and enough themes to actually enjoy staring at while you type.

what it is

boredtype tests how fast and accurately you type across dozens of languages, with time-based and word-count modes, punctuation and number practice, and a leaderboard if you want to compare against other people typing the same test.

Accounts are optional. Everything works without signing in — logging in just adds leaderboard results and lets your ad-free purchase (if you make one) follow you to other devices.

how wpm is calculated

wpm — correctly typed characters divided by 5, normalized to a 60-second rate.

raw wpm — the same calculation, but counting every character you typed, mistakes included.

accuracy — the percentage of keystrokes that were correct.

keyboard shortcuts

tab then enter — restart with new words
esc — restart instantly
