Frequently Asked Questions
How is WPM calculated?
Using the standard formula: every 5 correctly typed characters count as one word, divided by the time you took in minutes. Counting characters instead of actual words keeps the score fair regardless of how long the words in the sentence are.
How is accuracy measured?
Accuracy is the share of your keystrokes that were correct the first time. Mistakes are counted as you make them, so fixing a typo with backspace still leaves it in the accuracy figure — otherwise every finished test would read 100%.
Are my results saved anywhere?
No. Your results are shown on screen and then forgotten — nothing is stored on your device or sent to a server. Reloading the page starts a fresh test.
Why can't I paste the sentence?
Pasting is blocked on purpose. A pasted sentence would finish the test in one keystroke and produce a meaningless score, so the test only counts what you actually type.
