Questions
Good to know.
How is WPM calculated?
By the standard definition, a “word” is 5 characters. Your score counts only correctly typed characters, divided by 5, per minute, so mistakes don’t inflate it.
What is a good typing speed?
About 40 WPM is average for adults. 60+ is fast, and many office jobs ask for 35–45 WPM with good accuracy.
Should I fix my mistakes?
You can use backspace. Fixing costs time, but leaving errors lowers your accuracy, as in a real job test.
Can I put my typing speed on my CV?
Yes, if the job values it (admin, data entry, customer support). Write it like “Typing: 55 WPM, 97% accuracy”, and only a score you can repeat.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, though phone keyboards are slower. For a fair score, use a physical keyboard.
