Frequently asked questions
WPM is calculated as (all typed characters / 5) divided by the minutes spent, based on the standard rule that one word equals five characters.
Around 40 WPM is average for most people, 60 to 70 WPM is fast, and above 80 WPM is professional level. Accuracy matters more than raw speed.
