FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to common questions about the Dutch Typing Speed Test.
What does the Dutch Typing Speed Test do?
It shows you a random Dutch passage — everyday lines on Easy, longer sentences on Medium and Hard ones with euro amounts and times — and reports your words per minute and accuracy when you finish or your timer runs out.
What are digraphs like ij and eu in Dutch?
They're two-letter combinations that work as single vowel sounds — ij appears in words like zij and ontbijt, and eu in nauwkeurigheid. Both are typed as two separate letters, the way Dutch keyboards produce them.
Do I type ij as one letter?
No — type it as two normal letters, i and j. Dutch treats ij as one sound and capitalises both letters at the start of a word (IJ), but on a keyboard it's simply two keystrokes.
When do I need ë?
The diaeresis on ë marks the start of a new syllable, as in creëer from the Hard passages, or ideeën and België. It's a different character from e, so type it as shown — on US-International, " then e gives ë.
How are prices and times written in the Hard passages?
Dutch style: the euro sign comes first with a point for thousands and a comma for decimals, as in € 1.059,32, and times are followed by uur, as in 9:30 uur.
Do mistakes lower my WPM?
Not directly. WPM counts everything you type, in five-character words per minute, and errors are reflected in your accuracy instead — so compare both numbers to judge a run.
