Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?
One "word" is standardised as 5 characters, so WPM = (characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed.
What is a good typing speed?
About 40 WPM is average; 60–70+ WPM is fast and typical of professional typists.
Does accuracy matter?
Yes — this tool also shows accuracy, since fast typing with many errors is less useful.
