Find answers to common questions about typing practice, WPM calculation, and our typing games.
WPM stands for Words Per Minute. It measures how many words you can type in one minute. Our system calculates WPM by dividing the total characters typed by 5 (to standardize for average word length), then dividing by the time taken in minutes. For example, typing 300 characters in 2 minutes equals (300 ÷ 5) ÷ 2 = 30 WPM.
The average typing speed is about 40 WPM. A speed of 65–75 WPM is considered professional-level, while 100+ WPM is expert territory. Most data entry and administrative jobs require a minimum of 45–60 WPM.
To improve your typing speed: practice regularly with our typing games, focus on accuracy first before speed, use proper finger positioning on the home row, gradually increase your speed, take regular breaks to avoid fatigue, and use our analytics to track your progress.
