TypingBIRDS - Free Typing Speed Test, WPM Test and Touch Typing Practice Online
The most electrifying typing game on the web. Race against the world, climb the leaderboard, and become a typing legend.
GHOST RACING — BEAT YOUR PERSONAL BEST
Ghost Racing puts a real-time replay of your best-ever run right next to you as you type. Every time you start a race, your personal best ghost appears as a glowing cursor on the progress bar — you can see exactly where you fall behind and where you pull ahead, character by character. It is the fastest way to turn vague improvement into concrete progress.
- Live ghost progress bar with WPM display
- Character-level position tracking
- See where you slow down each session
- New PB? Ghost automatically updates
- Ahead / Behind / Tied indicator
- Works on all difficulty levels
GLOBAL LEADERBOARD — COMPETE WORLDWIDE
One leaderboard, every player on Earth. Your best score ever is saved and ranked against all other TypingBIRDS players. Scores are not just raw WPM — they are weighted by difficulty, so a skilled typist on Hard mode outranks someone grinding Easy all day. The board refreshes every 10 seconds so rankings are always live.
- All-time global rankings
- Score = WPM × Difficulty Multiplier
- Easy ×0.6 · Medium ×1.0 · Hard ×1.3
- Code mode gives ×1.4 multiplier
- Only your personal best is saved
- Auto-refreshes every 10 seconds
SUDDEN DEATH — ONE MISTAKE ENDS EVERYTHING
Sudden Death is the highest-pressure training mode on TypingBIRDS. The moment you press a wrong key, the race is over — no backspace, no second chance, no corrections. It sounds brutal, but it is the single most effective way to build error-free typing muscle memory. Typists who train with Sudden Death consistently improve their accuracy in every other mode.
- One typo = race instantly ends
- No backspace or correction allowed
- +50% XP bonus for completing a race
- Accuracy badge progress counts here
- Works with all difficulty levels
- Best mode for fixing bad habits
CODE TYPING MODE — BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
Code mode gives you real programming code to type — actual syntax with brackets, semicolons, underscores, camelCase, and special characters that never appear in regular prose texts. It is designed for software developers who want to close the gap between their English typing speed and their coding speed. Code mode also carries the highest score multiplier in the game at 1.4× — the greatest reward for the greatest challenge.
- Real code snippets — not fake text
- Special characters: { } [ ] ; = > / \
- camelCase, snake_case, operators
- Highest multiplier: WPM × 1.4
- +20% XP on Hard + Code combined
- Works with Ghost Racing & Leaderboard
