How the score is calculated
- A word counts as five characters, so speed does not depend on word length.
- Only correct characters count toward words per minute.
- Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were correct.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
The average is around 40 words per minute. Regular typists reach 60 to 80, and competitive typists go beyond 100. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
How can I type faster?
Learn touch typing so you do not look at the keys, keep your hands relaxed and practice a few minutes every day. Slow down slightly to cut errors, because corrections cost more time than a steady pace.
