Frequently Asked Questions

How is typing speed (WPM) calculated?▾

WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the total number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the standard word length) and then dividing by the elapsed time in minutes. This method provides a standardized measure that accounts for word length variation.

What is a good typing speed?▾

The average typing speed is about 40 WPM. Proficient typists typically reach 60-80 WPM, while professional typists and programmers often exceed 80-100 WPM. With regular practice, most people can significantly improve their speed.
