Start Typing FreeGerman Typing Test
Type common German words, accents included, and get your WPM and accuracy the moment you finish. Accented letters count as their own characters, so the test measures real German typing.
Before you start
Test setup
- 532 common German words
- Accents: ä, ö, ü and ß
- 10 to 100 words per run
- WPM plus accuracy
How to take it
- Click the test area and start typing; the clock starts on your first key.
- Type accented letters as they appear: ä, ö, ü is not the same character as the plain letter.
- Choose 25, 50 or 100 words before you start to change the length.
- Fix mistakes with Backspace; corrected errors still count in accuracy.
How scoring works
WPM uses the standard five-character word. An accented letter typed with a dead key counts as one character, the same as any other letter.
About the german test
The German test uses TypePlay's list of 532 common German words, written for typing practice. Typical words: der, die, und, in, den, von, zu, das. Longer ones include vielleicht, manchmal, freundlich, schlecht.
Typing German accents
German keyboards use QWERTZ: Y and Z swap places, and ä, ö and ü have their own keys to the right of L and P, with ß next to the 0 key. On a US layout with US-International, type " then a, o or u for the umlauts, and AltGr + s for ß.
Why practise in your own language
Typing speed is partly memory: your fingers learn the letter patterns of the words you type most. Practising in German trains those patterns directly, so the speed you build carries over to the emails, essays and messages you actually write.
Tip for a cleaner run
German words are long and often joined together. Read the whole word before you start it so you do not lose your place halfway through.
German typing test: common questions
Do I need a German keyboard for this test?
No. A German layout makes accents quicker, but any keyboard works with an international layout such as US-International, where accents are typed as a dead key followed by the letter.
Do accents count as mistakes if I leave them out?
Yes. A plain letter where the word has an accent is a different character, so it counts as an error. That keeps the score honest for real German typing.
Is German typing slower than English typing?
A little at first, because accents add keystrokes and the word patterns are new. With practice most bilingual typists get close to their English speed.
