Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
WPM (words per minute) is calculated as the number of correctly typed characters divided by 5 (the average word length), divided by the elapsed time in minutes. Raw WPM counts all typed characters regardless of errors.
What is the difference between WPM and Raw WPM?
WPM counts only correctly typed characters, penalizing mistakes. Raw WPM counts every character you type including errors, showing your peak speed before corrections.
When does the timer start?
The timer starts only when you type your first character, giving you time to read the text before the clock begins.
What are the difficulty levels?
Easy uses simple, common words and short sentences. Medium uses normal prose and quotes. Hard uses technical and complex vocabulary with longer sentences.
What is a good typing speed?
The average typist reaches around 40 WPM. Professional typists hit 65–75 WPM. Above 100 WPM is considered elite. Consistent practice improves speed significantly.
