On the results page, you will see your typing speed, accuracy, and ranking in the last 24 hours. You can also play typing games like Rain, where you have to type the word before it falls to the bottom of the screen on the same website. You can take typing tests lasting 1 minute, 3 minutes, or 5 minutes on this website.

The default time durations are 15, 30, 60, and 120 seconds, but you have the flexibility to customize the limit. There’s also a custom mode that lets you set the sentence and even a Zen Mode where you can keep typing any words of your choice. The website supports over 40 languages, and you can take typing tests that focus on time, words, quotes, punctuation, and numbers. Monkeytype is now an open-source project with various test modes and features. Needless to say, the concept proved to be an instant hit.
