GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
When does the countdown start?
After you select Start, the countdown begins when the first character is entered.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ elapsed minutes. Incorrect characters count toward total typed characters and accuracy, but not WPM.
