What's a good typing speed?
The average adult types around 40 words per minute. 60+ WPM is fast, and professional typists exceed 80. Accuracy matters as much as speed — a high WPM with many errors isn't useful. Practising a few minutes daily, keeping your fingers on the home row (ASDF–JKL;) and not looking at the keyboard are the fastest ways to improve.
Frequently asked questions
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute uses 5 characters per word: correct characters divided by 5, divided by minutes elapsed.
Is my typing data saved?
No — everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
How can I type faster?
Keep fingers on the home row, avoid looking at the keys, and practise daily. Accuracy first, speed follows.
