If you do NOT fix the errors, a penalty will be added to your final WPM score. To fix the errors, press the backspace key.

The timer starts when you start typing. However, if you wait more than 3 seconds, the timer starts anyway.


Error colors

            The acceleration and deceleration lets you see where you speed up and slow down during the typing test.

Bad case is when the case is incorrect. You typed '. the' instead of '. The'.

Bad ordering is when you typed a letter too early. For example, you typed huose instead of house. The U came too early.

Doublet is when you typed a character twice. For example homee or commmunity.

Other mistakes are not categorized.

Red is if you decide to not fix a mistake. A penalty will be applied to your score.

WPM calculation

You can look at the definition of WPM. If you happen to have a penalty it means that you did not fix errors during the typing test. Not fixing the errors (when the text turns red) will lower your WPM by the amount next to the speed. The penalty is proportional to the length of the text that was not fixed.
