A one minute typing test in Spanish, using the words people write most: día, año, también, después. Accents and ñ count, and there is a setting to make them optional.
The test draws from a list of everyday Spanish words ranked by how often they are used: short ones like con, por, bien and hoy, everyday nouns like casa, ciudad and tiempo, and words with accents and ñ such as día, año, niño, también and después. Switch the difficulty to Advanced in the test options for long words like simultáneamente and administración.
It is scored the standard way: net words per minute counts only correctly typed words, with five characters to a word, and accuracy counts every key you press. The clock starts on your first keystroke.
Spanish uses five accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú), the ñ and occasionally ü. How you type them depends on your keyboard:
If your keyboard makes accents awkward, switch on Lazy mode in Settings. A plain a then counts as á and n counts as ñ, so you can practise your Spanish words at full speed and come back to accents later.
Every Spanish run is saved to your history and statistics in your browser, with its own keyboard heatmap, just like an English test. The public leaderboards use English words so that everyone on a board types the same thing, so runs in other languages are kept to your own records.
Presspace also has typing tests in Portuguese, French, Italian and German, and a Polyglot challenge that shuffles six languages together.
On a Mac, press Option and N together, then n. On Windows with the US International layout, type a tilde (~) and then n. A Spanish or Latin American keyboard has its own Ñ key to the right of L. If you would rather not bother, switch on Lazy mode in Settings and a plain n is accepted.
Roughly, but not exactly. Spanish words are a little longer on average and accents add extra keystrokes, so most bilingual typists score a few words per minute lower in Spanish. WPM here counts five characters as a word in every language, so the figures are on the same scale.
Yes. Open the test options above the words and pick another language, or change the word list in Settings. This page only starts you in Spanish; it does not change your saved language.
