Frequently Asked Questions

How is WPM calculated?

WPM = (total characters typed ÷ 5) ÷ elapsed minutes. Dividing by 5 standardizes for average word length. This is 'gross WPM'. Net WPM additionally subtracts uncorrected errors.

What is a good typing speed?

Average: 40–60 WPM. Professional: 65–75 WPM. Touch typist: 80+ WPM. Expert: 100+ WPM. Most people can reach 60–80 WPM with consistent practice using proper touch-typing technique.

How is accuracy measured?

Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total characters typed) × 100%. For example, 190 correct out of 200 typed = 95% accuracy.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Use all 10 fingers (touch typing). Focus on accuracy first — speed follows naturally. Maintain proper posture. Practice 15–30 minutes daily. Most people see significant improvement within 2–4 weeks.

Is backspace allowed?

Yes, you can use backspace to correct mistakes, but the error is still counted in your accuracy score. This mimics real-world typing conditions.
