Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
We use the standard international metric where 1 "word" equals exactly 5 characters. We divide your total correct characters by 5, then divide by the minutes elapsed.
Can I take the test on my phone?
Yes! We use a specially designed hidden input field that triggers your phone's native keyboard, allowing you to test your mobile thumb-typing speed easily.
What happens if I make a mistake?
Mistakes are highlighted in red, and a distinct sound will play (if audio is enabled). You can press backspace to fix them. Only correct keystrokes count toward your final WPM score.
What is a good WPM score?
The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A speed of 60 WPM is considered good for professional work, while 80+ WPM is excellent.
