Typing Speed Test — Live WPM + Accuracy

Reading a 51 WPM result with 96% accuracy

The Typing Speed Test measures your words per minute and accuracy by timing you against a passage, starting the clock on your very first keystroke and stopping at the 60-second mark. Here's a real run: I typed 268 characters in that minute and got 12 of them wrong, leaving 256 correct. WPM counts correct characters divided by five, scaled to a full minute: 256 ÷ 5 = 51.2, so the screen read 51 WPM. Accuracy was 256 ÷ 268, about 96%. The result panel showed both numbers side by side, and neither one lied to me.

Don't chase raw speed on day one — accuracy is the lever that actually moves your score. Slowing down 10% often lifts your real number, because error-free typing means more correct characters land per minute and you stop retyping whole words. The passage changes on every restart, so practice against different text instead of memorizing one paragraph and riding muscle memory. Ten focused minutes a day beats an hour of Sunday cramming; I went from hunting-and-pecking at 35 to a steady 55 over a couple of months of exactly that.
