How to Use

1. Choose test mode: Pick 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, Custom Time (enter 0.5–60 minutes), 10/25/50 words, or Custom Text (paste your own passage).
2. Choose text type: Paragraph (default), Numbers, or Code — this changes the sample you’ll type.
3. Click Start Test. When the test area appears, click in the typing box and start typing. The timer starts on your first keystroke.
4. Type the text exactly as shown. Correct characters are highlighted in one color, mistakes in another; WPM, CPM, accuracy, and errors update live.
5. Finish the test by completing all words (word-count mode) or when time runs out (time mode). You’ll see a results modal with your final stats.
6. Use New Test to try again or Close to return. Check the Statistics tab for overall progress and the Leaderboard tab for your last 100 scores.
7. To pause: click Stop in the test header; click Resume to continue. Use Reset to abandon the current test and start over.

Understanding WPM and CPM

WPM (words per minute) is the standard measure of typing speed; one “word” is usually counted as 5 characters. CPM (characters per minute) is the raw character count per minute. Higher WPM and CPM with high accuracy mean faster, more reliable typing. Accuracy is the percentage of correct characters; errors are the number of mistakes. Improving over time on Statistics and Leaderboard shows your progress.

Use Cases

The mix of time-based, word-count, and custom text plus paragraph, numbers, and code makes it suitable for general and technical typists alike.
