About the Polish Typing Speed Test

Type real Polish passages using the Latin alphabet plus extra letters (ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź, ż) that mark nasal vowels and softened consonants, and get your words-per-minute and accuracy the moment you finish.

Polish speakers use it to check their speed on the Polish (Programmer's) layout, and learners use it to get quicker at ą, ę, ł, ż and the other AltGr letters.

Guide

Using the Polish Typing Speed Test

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Choose Easy, Medium or Hard — Hard brings in złoty amounts, a date and a phone number — then set no limit or a 1, 2 or 5 minute timer.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Click directly on the Polish passage text and start typing, special letters included — there's no separate text box.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Watch the diacritics as you go: ż and ź are different letters and a wrong one turns red. The clock starts with your first keystroke.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    When the passage or timer ends, check your Polish WPM and accuracy, then load another passage or save a certificate labelled with the level and "Polish".

  • Real Polish passages with ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż, typed exactly as the Polish (Programmer's) layout produces them
  • Polish letters must match exactly, so ł and l count as different characters
  • Easy lines like Kot śpi na kanapie przez cały dzień. come first; Hard adds a quotation, a 9:30 meeting and an invoice for 1059,32 zł
  • A 1, 2 or 5 minute timer keeps loading new Polish sentences, so you can see whether reaching for AltGr slows you down over a longer run
  • Pasting is blocked and each letter turns green or red as you type, so z in place of ż, or l in place of ł, is caught at once

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the Polish Typing Speed Test.

What does the Polish Typing Speed Test do?

It gives you a random Polish passage — everyday sentences on Easy, longer ones on Medium and Hard lines with prices and dates — and reports your words per minute and accuracy when you finish or your timer runs out.

How many extra letters does Polish add to the Latin alphabet?

Nine: ą, ć, ę, ł, ń, ó, ś, ź and ż — they mark nasal vowels and softened consonants, and all of them appear correctly in the passages here.

Do I type Polish directly, the same as English?

Yes — you type Polish directly, including its extra diacritic letters, the same way you'd type any other language here.

How do I type ą, ę, ł and the other Polish letters?

The usual layout in Poland is Polish (Programmer's), which works like US QWERTY plus AltGr: AltGr + a gives ą, AltGr + e gives ę, AltGr + l gives ł and AltGr + z gives ż.

Are ż and ź the same letter?

No. ż (with a dot) and ź (with an acute accent) are separate letters with different sounds. On the Programmer's layout ż is AltGr + z and ź is AltGr + x.

Do the accent marks have to match?

Yes. ś, ć, ń and ó are separate letters from s, c, n and o, so leaving off the mark counts as an error.

How is accuracy calculated?

Accuracy compares every character you typed with the passage and shows the share that matches. If you fix a mistake with Backspace, the corrected character is what counts.
