Guns were in danger it would be in time to be so precious, moving, in some strange bird.⏎
I clambered into the sky and against the sky.⏎
That flicker in the cave, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a new man.⏎
Tom pretended not to play with him.⏎
He had shoes on-and it was not broken up soon, he would rush to the effect of the scullery.⏎
All the rest of the Heat-Ray hit the landing on the left half of a horse that was the matter.⏎
He pointed out-writing in a row, were the Martians-_dead_!-slain by the French government.⏎

I begged a fortnight's grace from the end of half an hour.⏎
But what could it be?⏎
Now, Mr. Jabez Wilson here has been missed long ago, and no end to that of their life.⏎
And in practice in London do not know where they are.⏎
I begged a fortnight's grace from the strangest spectacle, that black expanse set with fire.⏎
It swept across the Atlantic, corn, bread, and meat were tearing to our luncheon.⏎
The charm of life and habits.⏎
I stopped to see the box, I didn't see the smile fade even for a vagrant.⏎
He was a lonely man, and as the Scripture says, and I asked him who Mr. Duncan Ross was.⏎
The man who was this howling proceeded.⏎
To Holmes, as I could divine the stress and danger of this weed, and stood on a white intensity.⏎
A faint wind moaned through the night in a railway accident near Crewe.⏎
There was no more to my confidant, the Lascar, entreated him to do the same.⏎
Sherlock Holmes was favourably impressed by the stream.⏎

Then Tom marched out of it.⏎
Down below in the west.⏎
In the pocket is a bit open.⏎
The description of how he had been driving, while a painful and weary was I after the other.⏎
By and by the dignitaries of the Martians alone.⏎
Yet though they were too much for him.⏎
The wailing took possession of a human being, and that in the right track.⏎
A sharp, resinous tang of burning was an astonishing scene.⏎
He gathered himself up in my uncle, however.⏎
The Count shrugged his shoulders bowed, his lips to my horror, there was the result.⏎

The will is very bad!⏎
There sat Aunt Polly, also.⏎
I fainted dead away, and therefore satisfactory.⏎
When it was close upon the grisly spectacle before them.⏎

I suppose it was a struggle and calamity and death arrested them.⏎
When a woman should be nothing to bother and grieve about, ever any more.⏎
About half past four in the wood.⏎
I heard the whirr of a _man_.⏎
A man, knee-deep near the site of the sufferer.⏎
There was no wonder that he was suffering from some small unpleasantness.⏎
He found, as so many thousands of other mortals.⏎
But since we were clear again he saw his face, blackened and tainted rain water.⏎
Going into the bag, and made shift to avert it.⏎
During all the group in the atmosphere.⏎

We have had little chance against them.⏎
He would run out of the machine.⏎
My movements were languid, my plans of Mr. Armitage, of Crane Water, near Reading.⏎
I heard a yell, and saw the flame struggle and expire.⏎
The matter he printed was emotional; the news venders were disseminating.⏎
Let us now see how long he had left, were invisible to me because it was enthusiastic.⏎
As it pulled up, one after the meal they felt and thought nothing of them.⏎
Violence of temper approaching to mania has been offered up for that afternoon; the town drunkard.⏎
I snatched it up for that matter.⏎
But we have to be in front of me the whole of her when once she had had the hardest task to win it.⏎

How to improve typing speed?

Typing is all about muscle memory, so the only way to improve is to practice typing regularly. We created TheTypingCat to give you a tool to learn and practice touch typing in the most effective way. The process of developing proper habits requires you to train your fingers periodically and to be patient. You should first focus foremost on accuracy, ergonomics, and high typing speed will come with time. Not to overwork yourself. Remember, it is a marathon, not a sprint, it is better to take ten minutes exercises daily than a single one hour run.

How is the text of this test constructed?

Using AI, we analyzed 1000 most common English books. The AI produced a statistical tree of most connected word chains. The output text is trying to mimic real sentences with the most used word connections, which gives more accurate results. However, it cannot be exactly grammatically correct as it relies on machine learning.

Why do I need to see Ads?

We want to make this typing test free. Our idea is to keep a significant portion of our typing software free of charge so everybody can work on improving typing skills, but still, we need to pay our bills. So Ads make TheTypingCat free for simple usage and essential practice and let people constantly reinforce keyboarding skills.

Words Per Minute (WPM)

The WPM stands for words per minute, and it is a measure of typing speed, commonly used in the recruitment process and typing speed tests. It is standardized to five characters or keystrokes. The benefits of a standardized measurement of input speed are that it enables comparison across language. Make sure you start your touch typing with high accuracy. Your speed will grow over time.

Character Per Minute (CPM)

The CPM stands for characters per minute. So CPM is WPM divided by 5. Sometimes people use a keystroke as an equivalent, but it is not the same thing. Keystroke is the single hit on the keyboard. So for the capital letter “A”, which is a single character, we count two keystrokes. (SHIFT + a)

Should I practice regularly?

Yes, for sure, there is nothing better than taking daily typing lessons. Repeating ten minutes typing practice will have a significant impact on your writing skills. TheTypingCat is made to reinforce continuous learning of how to type. We track your progress so you can see how your typing speed and accuracy increase over time. Regular activities are a critical factor in achieving professional typing skills.

Why typing speed matter?

Touch typing lets you focus on your main activity. Being less distracted by how fast you can type gives you enormous productivity boosts. It allows you to make your work done better and higher quality. You will make much fewer type errors, and your work will be much more valuable. You would be able to communicate faster and better.

What is the proper finger position while typing?

You should always start typing by placing your fingers on the home row. There are the small bumps on the F and J key, which indicate the initial position of your index fingers. It helps you find this starting position on the keyboard without looking at it. Once you start with this position, your fingers have the full range of motion and a proper distance to all keys. It is the most optimal hands placement during typing.

What is the best keyboard layout?

TLTR; The one you like the most, and you feel best with. Right now, you can find a vast number of keyboard layouts. Besides the most widely spread “Qwerty”, you can try many more on TheTypingCat like Colemak, Dvorak, Workman, and many more*. It is worth trying them because they optimize the typing process. Some of them are reducing even by half the distance your fingers make writing text. So also, they can make your typing speed better. * - Please see the settings menu for the full list.
