Typing Ukrainian on your keyboard
The Ukrainian layout is ЙЦУКЕН too, with і, ї and є of its own where Russian has ы, ъ and э. Windows has two, Ukrainian and Ukrainian (Enhanced), and they differ in where ґ and the apostrophe sit.
The apostrophe is part of words such as п’ять and сім’я, and any apostrophe your keyboard types counts. Set your keyboard to Ukrainian first: if it types Latin letters, the test starts over and tells you so.

Getting faster in Ukrainian
Your speed, accuracy and best here are Ukrainian numbers, kept apart from any other language. After a test, practice in Ukrainian finds the letters that slow you down and builds its text around them. The score is counted as in the main typing test, which explains how.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Ukrainian test different from the Russian one?
Yes. The words come from a Ukrainian frequency list, and the letters і, ї and є come up all the time, while ы, э and ё never do. Set your keyboard to Ukrainian rather than Russian, or those letters won’t match.
How do I set my keyboard to Ukrainian?
On Windows 11, open Settings, then Time & language, then Language & region, and add Ukrainian. Hold the Windows key and press Space to switch keyboards. On a Mac, open System Settings, then Keyboard, then Text Input, choose Edit, and add Ukrainian. Control and Space switches between them.

Can I compare my Ukrainian speed with my English speed?
The counting is the same: five typed characters are one word, so 60 WPM means 300 correct characters a minute in any language. The words here average 3.8 letters, against 4 in the English test. Your two numbers will still differ, because how well you know a language’s words and letter patterns matters as much as your fingers. Each language keeps its own best, so you always compare like with like.
