Type the lyrics to “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran

Make no mistake: 'Shape of You' is one of the toughest speed tests on SongTyping. Its rapid, syllable-dense verses push past 180 WPM, and at nearly 700 words it's a marathon as well as a sprint. Slow the video to 0.75x your first few tries — this is a track to work up to, not to start on.

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 699 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, upbeat.
