Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using this free online typing speed test.

What is the difference between Gross WPM and Net WPM? ▾
Gross WPM is total words typed per minute (calculated as Total Characters ÷ 5 ÷ Minutes). Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors from the gross score, providing an authentic benchmark of productive typing speed.
What is considered an average, good, and professional typing speed? ▾
The global average typing speed is approximately 40 WPM. Speeds between 60–80 WPM are considered high proficiency, and speeds over 90–100+ WPM rank in the top 1% of competitive and professional typists.
What does the "Code" difficulty mode test? ▾
Code mode tests programming syntax containing brackets `{ }`, semicolons `;`, quotes, operators, and indentation common in JavaScript, Python, and C++.
Can I restart the test immediately? ▾
Yes. Click the "Reset" button or press the Tab + Enter keyboard shortcut to instantly load a new random text prompt and reset all metrics.
