TypeBag guides
Three topics, and they run into each other: what typing speed means, how a duel works, and what happens when there is money on it. If you arrived wanting to know whether your WPM is any good, start with the ladder. If you arrived wanting to know what the stake actually buys, start with how a duel works.
TypeBag is a 1v1 typing race for money: two players type the same 30–60 second passage, and the faster, more accurate typist takes 90% of the pot. It is free to try with no account, or staked at $1–$10 in USDC on Solana.
Typing speed: what the numbers mean
Start at the ladder if you want the whole range, or jump to your own number. Each benchmark page covers what that speed takes, who has it, and what it is worth in a race.
What is a good WPM?
The full ladder from the adult average to elite, and why the same hands score differently depending on the test.
Typing speed test
A free test on real prose with punctuation, scored on correct characters. No account, and nothing saved.
WPM calculator
Work out gross WPM, net WPM and accuracy from a run you already did, with the arithmetic shown rather than hidden.
Is 60 WPM good?
Comfortably above average, and the point where typing stops being the slow part of your work.
Is 80 WPM good?
Double the average, and the last rung most people reach without deliberately practising.
Is 100 WPM good?
The number people aim at, and the one where the gap between a burst and a sustained pace starts to matter.
Is 120 WPM good?
Past every professional requirement, and into the range where only practice against measurement gets you there.
Is 150 WPM good?
Elite: roughly four times the adult average, and rare enough that most typists never meet one.
How a TypeBag duel works
The mechanics, end to end: what you are matched into, what a stake buys, and what happens when there is nobody in the queue.
How TypeBag works
A duel from queue to payout, including how the winner is decided and where the 10% goes.
Stakes, from free to $10
Every tier, what each one pays the winner, and why the free tier is unrated.
Racing a friend on a private link
One link, no queue, no strangers: how private challenges work at any stake.
Ghost duels
Racing a real player's recorded run, keystroke for keystroke, when the queue at your speed is thin.
Where TypeBag is available
The countries and US states where play is restricted, and the age and device requirements.
Typing for money
What paying to type actually looks like, how it differs from typing work, and how the money moves.
Typing for money: how it works
What a real-money typing race is, what it is not, and what you are risking when you enter one.
Typing games that pay real money, compared
Every route that pays for typing — competitions, transcription, data entry, duels — and what each is realistically worth.
Skill contests vs games of chance
Why a typing race with an identical passage and no random element sits on the skill side of that line.
Why TypeBag settles in USDC on Solana
The payment rail, why it was chosen, and what it means for how fast a withdrawal lands.
TypeBag compared with other typing sites
Honest comparisons. These are mostly not competing products — a practice tool, a benchmark and an opponent are different things.
Typing site comparisons
Monkeytype, TypeRacer, Keybr, Nitro Type and 10FastFingers: what each is built for, and which suits you.
Coming from Monkeytype
Where a Monkeytype habit transfers to a live opponent, and where it does not.
Coming from TypeRacer
The same head-to-head format, with a stake on the result and continuous prose instead of quotes.
Or skip the reading entirely: the free tier needs no account and no deposit, so you can race someone now and find out where you sit that way.
