Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated? +
WPM (words per minute) is calculated by dividing the total number of characters typed by 5 (the standard word length) and then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. Only correctly typed characters count toward your WPM score.
What is a good typing speed? +
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A speed of 60-80 WPM is considered above average. Professional typists typically reach 80-100+ WPM. Touch typists who practice regularly can exceed 120 WPM.
How can I improve my typing speed? +
Practice regularly with typing tests, learn proper touch typing technique (home row position), avoid looking at the keyboard, focus on accuracy before speed, and gradually increase difficulty as you improve.
What do the difficulty levels mean? +
Easy uses common everyday words. Medium uses full sentences with punctuation. Hard uses complex vocabulary, technical terms, and mixed punctuation that challenges even experienced typists.
Does accuracy affect my WPM score? +
This test shows both raw WPM and accuracy separately so you can track both metrics. Your accuracy percentage shows what fraction of characters you typed correctly out of the total characters typed.
