Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
We use the standard formula: (Total Characters Typed / 5) / Time (min). This means every 5
keystrokes count as one "word", ensuring that typing "I" and "Elephant" doesn't skew the results
unfairly.
Does accuracy affect my score?
Yes. We calculate "Net WPM", which subtracts uncorrected errors from your total. High speed with low accuracy will result in a lower final score. It is always better to type slower and accurately than fast with mistakes.
