How this list was compiled: Words chosen for this site from the Wiktionary frequency list 'Top 730K Spanish words from Wikipedia and the news', a Wortschatz Leipzig list built from the 2021 Wikipedia and 2022 News 1M-sentence corpora (no film-subtitle list was used), https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Frequency_lists/Spanish/Mixed_730K, read 2026-09-19. The words under Common words with no marks all sit in the first 558 places of that list. Every word, the bare word inside each ¿ ? and ¡ ! item, and every twin without its mark that a note names was checked on 2026-09-19 to have a Spanish entry at https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ followed by the word.

How it works

Spanish typing practice comes down to nine characters an English keyboard hides: á, é, í, ó, ú, ü, ñ, ¿ and ¡. Each run ends with WPM and accuracy. For a timed run on real prose, take the Spanish typing test.

Read the full guide

Twelve drills, one mark at a time

The Practise menu opens on Everything and splits the 475 words and sentences into twelve drills. One drills the nine marks alone. Pairs shows why they matter: papá is dad and papa is a potato. Seven drills take one mark each, from también to vergüenza. One-word questions such as ¿dónde? train the opening marks, and 40 Tatoeba sentences combine them. It is typing practice Spanish beginners can use, because the list under the tool gives every word in English.

Where the marks go

Spanish has one written accent, the acute, only on vowels, mostly to flag an unusual stress. That is why canción has one and its plural canciones does not. Question words take it in questions: qué, cómo, cuándo. The dots of ü appear only in güe and güi, as in pingüinos. Days, months and languages take no capital: lunes, enero, español.

  • On a dead-key layout the accent comes first and nothing shows until you press the vowel. Keep typing.
  • Treat the drills as Spanish typing games: pick 30 s and one mark, and aim for a run with no word marked wrong.
  • For typing games in Spanish with a friend, take the same drill and length in turns. Copy result puts your score in one line to send.

Questions and answers

How do I type ñ and accents without a Spanish keyboard?

Open Show all 475 words and sentences under the tool: its first group gives every method. On a Mac, Option + e then a vowel gives the accent, and Option + n then n gives ñ. On Windows, hold Alt and type 0241 on the number pad for ñ, or switch to the US-International layout, where ' then a gives á. On a phone, touch and hold the letter.

Why was a word marked wrong when the letters were right?

A mark was missing or extra. Only á matches á, so esta for está turns the word wrong at the space bar. These are different words in Spanish: sé is I know, and se is himself or herself.

What is a good WPM in Spanish?

This page ranks nobody and collects no scores. Marked letters cost extra key presses, two for every accent on a dead-key layout, so compare Spanish runs with Spanish runs. The tool keeps a personal best and your last ten runs for each drill and length.
