Just start typing the text above: the timer starts with the first key. In a minute you get your WPM, accuracy, level and the keys you miss most.
How speed is counted
WPM counts correctly typed characters divided by five, per minute. Mistyped keys are not counted. Accuracy is the share of keystrokes without errors.
