What Is Monkey Type?
Monkey Type is our take on the popular minimalist typing practice format — a clean, distraction-free typing test with a continuous stream of words rather than a fixed passage. Pick your session length, focus on the text box, and just type, with your WPM and accuracy tracked live as you go.
It uses the exact same underlying scoring engine as our standard Typing Speed Test — the difference is purely in framing and feel. This page is built for repeated, low-friction practice sessions rather than a single benchmark attempt.
Tips for Better Practice Sessions
- Use short daily 1-minute sessions to build consistent habit and speed over time, rather than sporadic long ones.
- Resist the urge to look at your keyboard — trust your fingers and stay focused on the screen.
- Track your WPM across sessions to spot genuine trends, not just single-run results, which naturally vary.
- Increase your session length gradually as your stamina improves, moving from 1-minute to 5+ minute sessions over time.
