Write against the clock.
A clock and a word count, side by side, the way the exam shows them.
No account. No paywall. Nothing about you is stored.
No rights reserved: copy it, change it, pass it on.
If it helps one person write better under time, it has done its job.
The typed tasks of the Writing section used since January 2026: an email in seven minutes and an academic discussion post in ten.
Your own prompt
Just the clock and the word count. Paste a question from anywhere, or leave it empty and write freely.
