How are my results calculated?

Typing speed (WPM)

A word is a standard unit of five characters. Letters, punctuation, and spaces all count. Only characters that correctly match the expected text when the test ends contribute to your speed.

WPM = correct characters ÷ 5 ÷ minutes spent typing. For example, 250 correct characters in 60 seconds gives you 50 WPM. Correcting a mistake lets that character count toward your speed.

Accuracy

Accuracy is the percentage of character entries that were correct when you typed them. Corrected mistakes still count as attempts; pressing Backspace does not.

Accuracy = correct entries ÷ all entries × 100. If you type nine characters correctly and one incorrectly, then delete the mistake and type the correct character, you have 10 correct entries out of 11 attempts: 91% accuracy after rounding. Your final text can be perfect while your accuracy is below 100%.

Comparing your progress

Characters per minute (CPM) counts correct displayed characters per minute; WPM divides this by five. Combined accents and emoji count as single displayed characters. Your-text results are personal practice and cannot be compared fairly with standard passages or other languages.

Compare results for the same text mode and duration. Sentences add capitals and punctuation, and a short burst differs from maintaining your pace for a full minute. Look at speed and accuracy together.
