How to Improve Your Typing Speed?
In the digital age, typing fast is a superpower. Whether you are a programmer, writer, or student, saving seconds on every sentence adds up to hours saved every week. Our Typing Speed Test is designed to simulate real-world typing scenarios to help you measure and improve your WPM (Words Per Minute).
What is WPM?
WPM stands for Words Per Minute. It is the standard measurement of typing speed. One "word" is mathematically calculated as 5 keystrokes, including spaces.
Average Speeds
• Beginner: 20-30 WPM
• Average: 40-50 WPM
• Professional: 70-90 WPM
• Expert: 100+ WPM
5 Tips to Type Faster
- Touch Typing: Learn to type without looking at the keyboard. Use all 10 fingers.
- Posture Matters: Sit straight with your feet flat on the floor. Keep your wrists slightly elevated, not resting heavily on the desk.
- Focus on Accuracy First: Speed comes naturally with muscle memory. If you type fast but make many errors, your net speed drops significantly due to backspacing.
- Practice Daily: Use this tool for 5 minutes every day. Try the "Hard" difficulty to practice coding syntax or complex words.
- Keyboard Quality: A mechanical keyboard or a good laptop keyboard with decent travel distance can improve tactile feedback.
