Frequently asked questions
What is a good typing speed?
The average person types about 40 WPM. 60–70 WPM is fast and great for office work; professional typists often exceed 80–90 WPM.
How is WPM calculated?
Words per minute counts every 5 correctly typed characters (including spaces) as one word, divided by the minutes elapsed. Mistyped words don't count.
How can I type faster?
Learn touch typing with all ten fingers, keep your eyes on the screen, and practise accuracy first — speed follows. A few minutes every day beats long sessions.
Does my keyboard affect my speed?
A bit. Comfortable key spacing and travel help, but technique matters far more. Test your keys with the keyboard tester if some letters miss.
