Questions
How does this typing test count WPM?
It takes the characters you typed right, divides them by five and then by the minutes since your first key.
Do typos count against me?
A wrong character adds nothing to your speed and lowers your accuracy. At the end you see how many characters were right and how many were wrong.
Can I correct a typo?
Yes. Delete it with Backspace and type it again. The score always compares what is in the box with the text.
What is a good typing speed?
Around 40 words per minute is often called average, and 60 or more is quick. Accuracy matters as much as speed.
Why can't I paste the text?
Pasting and dropping text in are switched off, so the result shows how fast you really type.
