Welcome to Type Faster
Hi and welcome to TypeFaster
I built this tool after watching Ali Abdaal’s video about learning to type faster — and realizing that most typing speed tests felt either too gamified, too boring, or too complicated.
My goal with TypeFaster is simple:
Help you build real typing speed (WPM) and accuracy with short, focused practice — no fluff, no distractions.
How It Works
1. Practice Mode
Start by typing the highlighted word as quickly and accurately as you can.
You’ll get immediate feedback on your typing speed and mistakes, helping you sharpen muscle memory and rhythm.
2. Test Mode
Once you’re warmed up, switch to the typing test.
Your challenge: stay ahead of the underlined word, which represents your recent average WPM.
Beat it consistently — and you improve naturally over time.
Smart Word List
The practice uses the 800 most common English words — realistic everyday vocabulary.
They’re not always easy, so don’t worry if your WPM is slightly lower than on other online typing tests. That’s normal (and it means you’re training smarter).
More word sets and advanced drills are coming soon.
Why I Built This
As a developer, I type all day — and I wanted a clean, intentional way to get faster without turning practice into a chore.
TypeFaster is my answer:
A simple, effective typing practice tool designed to build lasting speed and accuracy, one session at a time.
I’d Love Your Feedback
This is just the beginning.
If you have suggestions, spot a bug, or want a new training mode, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.
