How a Typing Speed Test Works

WPM = (correct characters / 5) per minute. Accuracy = correct entries / total keystrokes.

Timing and word list

A fixed timer (e.g., 60 seconds). Words are sampled from a balanced list; very rare words are tempered for fairness.

Score validation

• Errors are finalized when the timer ends; backspace behavior is standard.
• Saving respects leaderboard visibility thresholds.
• Extreme outliers may require re-validation.
