Typing Speed Test FAQ
How is WPM calculated?
Standard formula: correctly typed characters divided by five (the average word length), divided by elapsed minutes. Errors do not count toward WPM, which is why accuracy matters.
What is a good score?
The average adult types 35–45 WPM; professional typists exceed 70. Anything above 60 with 95%+ accuracy is strong for everyday work.
Can I use the backspace?
Yes — errors stay marked so you can see where you slipped, but you can correct them just like in a real editor.
