Code Typing Speed Test
How fast can you type real code? JavaScript, Python, PHP, SQL and Bash snippets with WPM and accuracy. Free, no sign-up, and your best score stays in this browser.
How to play
- Pick a language and type the snippet exactly, including brackets and quotes.
- Correct characters turn green, mistakes turn red. Press Enter for a new line: the next line's indentation is added for you. Tab inserts two spaces.
- WPM counts five correct characters as one word. Best scores need 90% accuracy or more.
Frequently asked questions
Why is code harder to type than prose?
Code is full of symbols - brackets, quotes and operators - that sit off the home row, so most people type code slower than normal text.
What is a good code typing speed?
Many developers land between 30 and 60 WPM on code. Accuracy matters more than raw speed.
