How the test works
Pick a mode: a fixed time (15, 30, 60 or 120 seconds) or a fixed number of words (10, 25, 50 or 100). The clock starts with your first key. Press space after each word. You can go back with backspace to fix a word you got wrong, but correct words are locked in.
What the numbers mean
WPM (words per minute) counts only correctly typed words, with every five characters counted as one word. Raw speed counts everything you typed, mistakes included. Accuracy is the share of keystrokes that were right, and consistency shows how steady your pace was from second to second.
