A one minute typing test in Portuguese, built from the words people write most: casa, tempo, mundo, começar. Accents count, and a setting can make them optional.
The test serves everyday Portuguese ranked by frequency: short words like com, por, mas and bem, common nouns like casa, tempo, mundo and cidade, and verbs like fazer, escrever and começar. The standard list keeps accents light. Switch the difficulty to Advanced in the test options for long words full of them: administração, compreensão, correspondência.
It is scored the standard way: net words per minute from correctly typed words, five characters to a word, and accuracy from every keystroke. Nothing starts until your first key.
Portuguese uses the cedilla (ç), the tilde (ã, õ), the acute (á, é, í, ó, ú), the circumflex (â, ê, ô) and the grave (à).
Lazy mode in Settings accepts plain letters for accented ones, which is handy if you type Portuguese on a keyboard without dead keys.
Every Portuguese run is saved to your history and statistics in your browser, with its own keyboard heatmap. The public leaderboards use English words so everyone on a board types the same text, so runs in other languages count towards your own records.
Presspace also has typing tests in Spanish, Italian, French and German.
On a Mac, Option+C gives ç, and Option+N then a gives ã. On Windows with the US International layout, an apostrophe then c gives ç, and a tilde then a gives ã. Brazilian ABNT2 and Portuguese keyboards have a Ç key to the right of L.
The everyday words in the test are shared by both. Spelling differences between Brazil and Portugal mostly affect less common words, so the test works as practice for either.
Yes. Switch on Lazy mode in Settings and plain letters are accepted for accented ones, so a counts for ã and c for ç. It is a good way to practise the words first and add the accents once they feel familiar.
