SUMI TYPING is a free online typing test and typing game set in living
Japanese ink worlds. Seven modes, live WPM and accuracy, no ads, no install. Take a timed
test, race a ghost or a pacer, practice code, type in an un-timed zen mode, and climb a
global leaderboard.
Your score is net WPM — the number of correctly typed characters divided
by five, per minute — the same measure other major typing tests use, so your results are
directly comparable.
The seven modes of SUMI TYPING:
One Stroke (一筆) — the core timed typing test: 15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
Shadow (影) — race the ghost of your own best run.
Practice (稽古) — drills built from your own logged mistakes: your missed words and weakest keys.
The Forge (鍛冶) — JavaScript and web syntax practice, from short keywords to operators and brackets.
Seated Stillness (座禅) — an un-timed zen mode: long-form calm, no clock, only flow.
Life of Shinobi (忍び) — an arcade round: slice the words out of the sky before they fall.
Live Blade (真剣) — sudden death: a single wrong strike ends the run.
What else you get:
A race mode — face ten house rivals from 30 to 400 WPM, or set your own pacer speed.
A global leaderboard for every test length, with optional Google sign-in and a full guest mode.
Customization: word size, line count, difficulty tiers, twelve accent inks and eleven word
colors with a live contrast badge, motion, sound and ambience controls.
37 ink themes — 17 living scenes and 20 ink-and-paper presets. 21 are free on the web (the Hibiki
scene and every preset); the other 16 living scenes are open from the first launch in the
desktop edition arriving on Steam.
A profile seal album with levels, honors, a theme collection and a practice heatmap.
No ads and no install — it also works as an installable web app (PWA).
SUMI TYPING needs JavaScript to run the interactive test. Read more on the
