Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute is calculated as (total characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed — 5 characters is the standard convention for one "word," regardless of the actual words used.
What counts toward accuracy?
Each character you type is compared to the same position in the target passage — accuracy is the percentage that matched exactly.
What's a good typing speed?
Average typists reach 35-45 WPM. 60+ WPM is considered fast, and professional typists often exceed 80-100 WPM.
