Type the lyrics to “Castle on the Hill” by Ed Sheeran

'Castle on the Hill' is a big, nostalgic anthem with fast, memory-packed verses opening into a soaring chorus. The contrast between the quick storytelling and the wide-open hook makes it great practice for shifting gears mid-song.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “fast” range, a demanding pace that challenges even experienced typists. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 345 words, making it a longer, endurance-building session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.

Genre and mood tags for this track: pop, rock.
