Average adult typists hit 35-40 WPM. 60+ is comfortably 'fast'. Professional typists and coders often hit 90-110. Anything past 120 is competitive territory.

Why is WPM = correct chars / 5?

The '5' is a historical average word length used since manual typewriter tests. It standardizes the score across languages so 'WPM' means the same thing whether you typed English or German.

Korean and Japanese feel slower — is the score fair?

Not perfectly. CPK languages have wider average 'word' lengths than 5 in this implementation, so absolute WPM will tend lower than English. Track relative progress within one language rather than comparing across.

Typing Speed Test (WPM)

A quick typing test with live feedback — every character you type is colored green (correct) or red (wrong) against the target, and your WPM, CPM, accuracy, and error count update in real time. WPM is computed the standard way (correct characters / 5 / minutes), so it's comparable to monkeytype, 10fastfingers, and similar tools. Three language word pools (English, Korean, Japanese) let you practice the script you actually type in. Best score is saved locally.
