The English typing test is the default benchmark of the typing world: QWERTY layout, common English words, WPM scored the standard way. It's the format behind job requirements (“60 WPM required”), typing certificates, and nearly every speed comparison you've ever seen — if someone quotes a WPM number without qualification, this is the test they mean.
Eletypes runs it on the 200 most common English words — the same practical vocabulary your fingers meet in real writing — with 15 to 90-second timers and live stats as you type. Prefer realism over randomness? Switch to sentence mode for full sentences with capitals and punctuation.
