Good to know
Words per minute uses the standard measure of five characters per word: correct characters divided by five, divided by minutes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent or stored.
Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated here?
It counts your correctly typed characters, divides by five to get words, then divides by the minutes elapsed for a standard WPM figure.
What does accuracy mean?
Accuracy is the share of characters you typed that match the passage; mistakes are highlighted so you can see where they happened.
Can I change the time or text?
Yes. Pick a duration from the menu, press Restart to retry the same passage, or load New text for a fresh one.
