toipe is a trusty terminal typing tester.
By default, a list of top 250 English words (top250) is used and random words are selected from it. The other word list available are top500, top1000, top2500, top5000, top10000, top25000, commonly-misspelled, and os. You can choose the number of words to show on each test.
toipe looks best on a nice terminal (such as Alacritty) with color and style support.
This is free and open source software.
