What does WPM mean?

WPM is an estimate of how many standard-length words you can type correctly in one minute. Some tests report gross WPM (raw speed) and net WPM (after errors).

What is a good WPM?

Around 40 WPM is often considered average. 60 WPM is strong for everyday work. 80+ WPM is fast and usually achieved with regular practice.

How to increase WPM

Improve accuracy, practice common word patterns, and train consistency. Small improvements compound over weeks.
