Best Free Typing Websites to Learn Touch Typing (2026)

The most complete free curriculum: a long series of short lessons that introduce a few keys at a time, with a hand posture guide showing which finger to use and up to five stars for each attempt. You do not need an account, but a free profile saves your progress. TypingClub says it is and will stay free for individuals and schools; the only paid product is an optional School Edition for teachers. It also has separate Dvorak, one-hand and kids lesson plans. Best pick if you have never touch typed.

Covers the same ground as TypingClub with a cleaner interface and lessons split into beginner, intermediate and advanced, plus a numeric keypad (10 key) lesson. It also has a proper typing test and games. The full curriculum is free because it is supported by ads; the paid PLUS Edition is aimed at schools and removes ads. Choose it over TypingClub if you prefer its look, the results are the same.

Plainer, with 15 lessons, a speed test, games and a numeric keypad section, but it supports far more keyboard layouts and languages than the two above: Dvorak, Programmer Dvorak, Colemak and Workman, plus layouts for Hindi, Bengali, Arabic, Russian and dozens more. Use it if you are learning to type in a language other than English or on a non QWERTY layout.

Does not use lessons. It generates made up words from the letters you have unlocked, watches which keys slow you down, and feeds you more of those. It unlocks a new letter only when you are fast and accurate on the current set. This is the fastest way to fix bad habits from years of two finger typing. Practice is free with no account needed; the free version shows ads, and a paid premium account removes them. Spend two to four weeks here after finishing the basic lessons.

The site most fast typists practice on. A minimal screen, a timed or word count test, and detailed stats after each run: raw and net WPM, accuracy, consistency, and a graph of your speed over the test. You can switch between common English words, quotes, numbers and punctuation, and pick from dozens of themes. It is free and open source (GPL-3.0). No account is needed, though an account saves your history. Once you can touch type, this is where daily practice happens.

The classic one minute test using the top 200 words of your language, available in more than 40 languages. Good for a weekly benchmark because the word set never changes, so your scores are comparable over time. It also runs 24 hour competitions, live multiplayer races for up to 20 players and a custom mode for your own text. The site was relaunched in April 2026 with a rebuilt profile page.

Turns typing into a car race against other people typing the same quote. The competition is what keeps people coming back; you will type faster than in a solo test just from the pressure. Free with ads and an optional account for rankings. Paid plans start at $12 a year (Core), which turns off ads and saves your practice and ghost races; Premium ($19 a year) and Ultimate ($79 a year) add avatars, custom texts and API access.

A smaller TypeRacer alternative with private races, solo practice, a weekly hard word drill and live leaderboards. Useful for classrooms or friends who want to compete without random players. You need a free account to race.

A space shooter where each incoming ship has a word on it and you type the word to destroy it. Works in the browser, no install, and it is genuinely good for speed on random words. The free game shows ads. Use "load your own text" in the menu to play against any text you choose.

A full paid game ($14.99 on Steam, for Windows, Mac and Linux) where you ride a fox through a paper world and fight by typing. The only typing game good enough to play for its own sake; it adapts difficulty to your speed.

Has you type real source code in your language of choice, so you drill brackets, underscores and symbols that normal tests skip. The free plan includes lessons in 16 programming languages and a typo cost analysis. The paid plan ($9.99 a month) lets you upload any code, adds a typo heatmap, a fingering guide and progress tracking. Monkeytype's code word lists (for example JavaScript) are a free alternative.

A free, open source typing tutor for Windows, Mac and Linux that also runs in the browser. Its lessons are built around your error statistics, similar to Keybr, and the desktop version works offline. Good for anyone who does not want to practice inside a browser tab.

TypingClub or Typing.com, 15 minutes a day, through the home row, top row and bottom row lessons. Do not look at the keyboard. Speed will drop below what you had before; that is normal.

Keybr, 15 minutes a day. Aim for 97 percent accuracy before caring about speed. Unlock all letters by the end of week three.

Monkeytype, 10 minutes of 30 second tests plus one 60 second test on 10FastFingers at the end of each week to log progress.

Five minutes on Monkeytype before work. Most people plateau around 60 to 70 WPM without deliberate practice, which is plenty.
