tip: You can also change all these settings quickly using the command line ( )

Account settings have moved. You can now access them by hovering over the account button in the top right corner, then clicking "Account settings".

tags
With tags, you can compare how fast you're typing in different situations. You can see your active tags above the test words. They will remain active until you deactivate them, or refresh the page.
presets
Create settings presets that can be applied with one click. Remember to edit your preset if you make any changes - they don't save on their own.
result saving
Disable result saving, in case you want to practice without affecting your account stats.
test difficulty
Normal is the classic typing test experience. Expert fails the test if you submit (press space) an incorrect word. Master fails if you press a single incorrect key (meaning you have to achieve 100% accuracy).
quick restart
Press `tab` , `esc` or `enter` to quickly restart the test, or to quickly jump to the test page. These options disable tab navigation on most parts of the website. Using the "esc" option will move opening the commandline to the `tab` key.
repeat quotes
This setting changes the restarting behavior when typing in quote mode. Changing it to 'typing' will repeat the quote if you restart while typing.
blind mode
No errors or incorrect words are highlighted. Helps you to focus on raw speed. If enabled, quick end is recommended.
always show words history
This option will automatically show the words history at the end of the test. Can cause slight lag with a lot of words.
single list command line
When enabled, it will show the command line with all commands in a single list instead of submenu arrangements. Selecting 'manual' will expose all commands only after typing `>` .
min speed
Automatically fails a test if your speed falls below a threshold.
min accuracy
Automatically fails a test if your accuracy falls below a threshold.
min burst
Automatically fails a test if your raw for a single word falls below this threshold. Selecting 'flex' allows for this threshold to automatically decrease for longer words.
british english
When enabled, the website will use the British spelling instead of American. Note that this might not replace all words correctly. If you find any issues, please let us know.
language
Change in which language you want to type.
funbox
These are special modes that change the website in some special way (by altering the word generation, behavior of the website or the looks). Give each one of them a try!
custom layoutfluid
Select which layouts you want the layoutfluid funbox to cycle through.
polyglot languages
Select which languages you want the polyglot funbox to use.
freedom mode
Allows you to delete any word, even if it was typed correctly.
strict space
Pressing space at the beginning of a word will insert a space character when this mode is enabled.
opposite shift mode
This mode will force you to use opposite `shift` keys for shifting. Using an incorrect one will count as an error. This feature ignores keys in locations `B` , `Y` , and `^` because many people use the other hand for those keys. If you're using external software to emulate your layout (including QMK), you should use the "keymap" mode - the standard "on" will not work. This will enforce opposite shift based on the "keymap layout" setting.
stop on error
Letter mode will stop input when pressing any incorrect letters. Word mode will not allow you to continue to the next word until you correct all mistakes.
confidence mode
When enabled, you will not be able to go back to previous words to fix mistakes. When turned up to the max, you won't be able to backspace at all.
quick end
This only applies to the words mode - when enabled, the test will end as soon as the last word has been typed, even if it's incorrect. When disabled, you need to manually confirm the last incorrect entry with a space.
indicate typos
Shows typos that you've made. "Below" shows what you typed below the letters, "replace" will replace the letters with the ones you typed and "both" will do the same as replace and below, but it will show the correct letters below your mistakes.
hide extra letters
Hides extra letters. This will completely avoid words jumping lines (due to changing width), but might feel a bit confusing when you press a key and nothing happens.
composition display
Change how composition is displayed. "off" will just underline the letter if composition is active. "below" will show the composed character below the test. "replace" will replace the letter in the test with the composed character.
lazy mode
Replaces accents / diacritics / special characters with their normal letter equivalents.
layout emulator
With this setting you can emulate other layouts. This setting is best kept off, as it can break things like dead keys and alt layers.
code unindent on backspace
Automatically go back to the previous line when deleting line leading tab characters. Only works in code languages.
sound volume
Change the volume of the sound effects.
100
play sound on click
Plays a short sound when you press a key.
play sound on error
Plays a short sound if you press an incorrect key or press space too early.
play time warning

smooth caret
The caret will move smoothly between letters and words.
caret style
Change the style of the caret during the test.
pace caret
Displays a second caret that moves at constant speed. The 'average' option averages the speed of last 10 results. The 'tag pb' option takes the highest PB of any active tag. The 'daily' option takes the highest speed of the last 24 hours.
repeated pace
When repeating a test, a pace caret will automatically be enabled for one test with the speed of your previous test. It does not override the pace caret if it's already enabled.
pace caret style
Change the style of the pace caret during the test.

highlight mode
Change what is highlighted during the test.
typed effect
Change how typed words are shown.
tape mode
Only shows one line which scrolls horizontally. Setting this to 'word' will make it scroll after every word and 'letter' will scroll after every keypress. Works best with smooth line scroll enabled and a monospace font.
tape margin
When in tape mode, set the carets position from the left edge of the typing test as a percentage (for example, 50% centers it).
smooth line scroll
When enabled, the line transition will be animated.
show all lines
When enabled, the website will show all lines for word, custom and quote mode tests - otherwise the lines will be limited to 3, and will automatically scroll. Using this could cause the timer text and live speed to not be visible.
00
always show decimal places
Always shows decimal places for values on the result page, without the need to hover over the stats.
typing speed unit
Display typing speed in the specified unit.
start graphs at zero
Force graph axis to always start at zero, no matter what the data is. Turning this off may exaggerate the value changes.
max line width
Change the maximum width of the typing test, measured in characters. Setting this to 0 will align the words to the edges of the content area.
font size
Change the font size of the test words.
font family
Change the font family used by the website. Using a local font will override your choice.
Note: Local fonts are not sent to the server and will not persist across devices.

flip test colors
By default, typed text is brighter than the future text. When enabled, the colors will be flipped and the future text will be brighter than the already typed text.
colorful mode
When enabled, the test words will use the main color, instead of the text color, making the website more colorful.
custom background
Set an image url or local image to be a custom background image. Local image always take priority over the image url. Cover fits the image to cover the screen. Contain fits the image to be fully visible. Max fits the image corner to corner.
Note: The local image is stored in your browser's local storage and will not be uploaded to the server. This means that if you clear your browser's local storage or use a different browser, the local image will be lost.
