How is WPM calculated?

WPM (words per minute) is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the average word length), then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. Only correct characters count toward your WPM.

What is a good typing speed?

The average typist achieves 40–60 WPM. Touch typists typically reach 60–80 WPM, while professional typists often exceed 80–100 WPM. Top competitive typists can exceed 150 WPM.

Does this typing test save my data?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your keystrokes and results are never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.

Can I practice with code snippets?

Yes! Switch to the 'Code Snippet' mode to practice typing real programming code, which is great for developers looking to improve their coding speed and accuracy.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Consistent daily practice is key. Focus on accuracy first, then speed. Use proper finger placement (touch typing), avoid looking at the keyboard, and gradually increase difficulty by using code snippets or longer passages.
