FAQ
How is WPM calculated?
WPM uses standard typing-test convention: correct characters are counted toward net words (characters ÷ 5), divided by elapsed minutes.
Is my typing sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser tab.
Introduction
Typing Speed Test measures words per minute (WPM) and accuracy against short passages. Pick difficulty and duration, then type in the box while live stats update.
Purpose
- Track typing speed and accuracy over time.
- Warm up before work or compare sessions with consistent settings.
Key Features
- Difficulty tiers with random passages and selectable duration (30s / 1m / 2m).
- Live WPM and accuracy while typing; popup summary when time or passage completes.
- Color-coded character feedback for correct vs wrong keystrokes.
Common Use Cases
- School or job typing prep, personal improvement streaks.
- Comparing rubber-dome vs mechanical boards using the same test settings.
Best Practices
- Warm up with one throw-away run before recording a score.
- Fix wrong characters early — accuracy heavily affects meaningful WPM here.
