What is NinjaType?

NinjaType is a free online typing practice app that combines typing speed tests, progressive touch typing lessons, and typing games in a simple browser interface. Whether you are learning the keyboard, improving typing accuracy, or challenging your personal best, NinjaType gives you several ways to practise and track your progress.

Take a timed typing test, practise English words and quotes, learn consistent finger placement, or create a typing race with friends. Typing practice and finger lessons require no account, and your practice history and preferences are saved in your browser.

NinjaType includes:

  • Online typing speed tests: Measure words per minute (WPM) and accuracy with immediate feedback on correct characters and mistakes. Choose timed sessions of 25 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes, or practise with a word-count exercise.
  • Touch typing lessons: Learn QWERTY finger placement through focused exercises for index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers. Progress from home keys to more challenging reaches, earn stars, and revisit lessons to strengthen difficult movements.
  • English dictionaries and quotes: Practise common English words using 1,000-, 2,000-, and 5,000-word lists, including word-length variations. Explore programming, motivational, and other quote collections for varied typing practice.
  • Typing races: Make practice more engaging with quick races or named rooms for friends. Shared races support Words and Time modes, dictionary choices, performance comparisons, and rematches.
  • Ghost Race: Challenge a pacing shadow based on your best valid saved average WPM. Follow its underlined progress across a fresh passage while working toward a new personal best.
  • Typing history and analytics: Review completed sessions, compare speed and accuracy, and inspect per-key errors and latency to identify movements that need more practice.
  • Customizable themes: Choose AMOLED, Nord, Dracula, Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, and other themes to personalize your typing environment.
  • Hacker Typer: Explore a keyboard-controlled, movie-style code display for fictional hacking scenes and playful pranks. This feature is a visual simulator.
  • Typing guides: Read practical articles about touch typing, home-row placement, typing accuracy, WPM measurement, and training routines, with links to the relevant practice tools.

NinjaType brings focused learning, repeatable typing tests, and race challenges together in one free, open-source web app. Start with a baseline test, practise your weak keys, and compare completed sessions as your skills develop.
