Typing FAQ
This page answers common questions about typing speed, WPM benchmarks, and ztyping games. ztyping games are free to play, improve typing speed and accuracy, and require no download.
What is a good typing speed (WPM)?
Most office work feels comfortable at 40–60 WPM. Power users and developers often reach 70–90 WPM or higher. Anything above your current baseline with good accuracy is real progress — focus on steady improvement, not overnight jumps.
Compare your sessions over time using Typing Trainer, which tracks WPM and accuracy as you play.
Is Typing Trainer free to play?
Yes. ztyping games are free to play, improve typing speed and accuracy, and require no download. Typing Trainer runs in your browser with no signup — including its Custom Text mode.
How do I load my own text into the typing game?
Open Custom Text from the Typing Trainer game page or header, paste your text or enter a URL, choose options like case sensitivity and punctuation, then click Play. Each sentence becomes a wave of targets in the game.
Try built-in examples from easy children's books to challenging classics directly in the form.
How do I improve my typing speed fast?
Practice 10–15 minutes daily, prioritize accuracy over raw speed, and keep your fingers on the home row (ASDF and JKL;). Speed follows accuracy — not the other way around.

Does Typing Trainer work on mobile phones?
Typing Trainer is designed for physical keyboards. You can use a tablet with a keyboard attached, but phone screens are too small for serious WPM practice.
