Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good typing speed?

Average is 40 WPM. Professionals target 65–80 WPM. Competitive typists exceed 100 WPM. Anything above 50 WPM puts you in the top half of all typists.

How is WPM calculated?

WPM = (Total characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ time in minutes. Dividing by 5 normalizes for word length since 'a' and 'antidisestablishmentarianism' otherwise count unequally.

Does typing accuracy matter more than speed?

Yes. At 90% accuracy your effective speed is lower than a slower typist at 99% accuracy. Focus on accuracy first — speed naturally follows with practice.

Is this free?

Yes, completely free. Start typing immediately with no sign-up required.
