Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

Correctly typed characters are divided by 5 to get words, then divided by the minutes taken. Mistakes do not count toward your speed.

What is a good typing speed?

Around 40 WPM is average. 60–70 WPM is fast for office work, and professional typists often exceed 80 WPM with over 95% accuracy.

How can I type faster?

Keep your fingers on the home row, look at the screen instead of the keyboard and focus on accuracy first. Speed follows with daily practice.

Can I paste the text?

No. Pasting is disabled so the result reflects real typing.
