How is WPM calculated?

Words per minute uses the standard 5-character word convention · total characters typed (excluding mistakes) divided by 5, divided by minutes elapsed. So 300 correctly-typed characters in 60 seconds is 60 WPM. Mistakes do not count toward the WPM total · only correctly typed characters.

What if I make a typo?

The character is marked red. You can backspace to fix it · accuracy tracks the percentage of characters typed correctly on the first try, so an immediate backspace saves the WPM count but the accuracy stays dented. Pure WPM and pure accuracy pull against each other, which is why the game tracks both.

Why poetry on the hard tier?

Poetry passages cover a wide vocabulary range, vary punctuation in unpredictable ways, and use rare letters and unusual word lengths that don't show up in conversational prose. Typing a Shakespeare sonnet or a Frost stanza tests endurance and breadth where a typing-test paragraph just tests rhythm. They're also short enough to type in a single sprint.

What WPM should I aim for?

A comfortable office typist runs 40-60 WPM. Professional transcriptionists hit 80-100. Competitive online sprinters break 150 on short prompts. If you regularly hit 30+ WPM on Medium with 95%+ accuracy, you're typing faster than the average adult; if you hit 80+ on Hard with 98%+ accuracy, you're typing faster than most professionals.
