Frequently asked questions

What is a good typing speed?
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A speed of 60+ WPM is considered good, 80+ WPM is fast, and 100+ WPM puts you in the top percentile. Professional typists often exceed 120 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute is calculated as (total characters typed / 5) / minutes elapsed. The standard "word" is defined as 5 characters, including spaces. This method is consistent across typing tests worldwide.
How often should I practice to improve?
Consistent daily practice of 10-15 minutes is more effective than occasional long sessions. Most people see measurable improvement within 2-4 weeks of regular practice.
Does difficulty level affect my score?
Yes — harder difficulties use longer, less common words which naturally lower your WPM. However, practicing on harder settings builds stronger skills that transfer to easier content.
