Play, method and practical limits
Gross WPM is typed characters ÷ 5 ÷ elapsed minutes. Accuracy compares typed characters with the current passage; errors include excess characters.
Limits and problems
The supplied passages remain English at every difficulty. Scores depend on passage, keyboard and practice; they are not an official language or typing certificate.
After completion, select a new text or restart to edit again. If share or copy is unavailable, a result text field is offered for manual copy.
Game data
Best WPM uses localStorage under typingBestWpm. Share sends the visible result text through the browser only when you request it.
Characters are Unicode code points, including spaces; combining marks count separately. Composition is scored after commitment. Gross WPM does not subtract errors. Time advances on browser timer ticks, which can be delayed.
