How it works
The typing engine compares each character, highlights errors instantly, and updates WPM, CPM, accuracy, and error counts live until the timer ends.
How to use it
- Choose a mode or timer preset.
- Start the session and focus on smooth, controlled input.
- Review the summary card, compare your score, and repeat with a different pace.
Tips
- Prioritize clean accuracy before chasing a bigger WPM number.
- Keep eyes ahead in the text instead of on your fingers.
- Use longer sessions to reveal consistency, not just peak speed.
Common mistakes
- Starting too aggressively and fading early.
- Ignoring rhythm in favor of noisy movement.
- Comparing scores across different devices without context.
