Typing Spanish accents

Your score in Spanish vs. English

Spanish words are a little longer on average than English words, and accents take extra keystrokes, so most bilingual typists score slightly lower in Spanish. Compare your Spanish result with the English 1-minute test to see the difference.

How your score is calculated

Every five correctly typed characters, including spaces, count as one word. Your WPM is the number of those words divided by the test length in minutes, so mistyped words do not count. Accuracy is the share of keys you pressed correctly. Read more about what your number means in our guide to the average typing speed.
