Compares your current correct WPM with the final WPM of your best available recorded run at this duration. Green + means faster; red − means slower. The target is fixed when your run starts. Passages may differ. This is an average-pace comparison, not a replay of that run.
Passage & typing
A quiet morning
A seed repeats the same text sequence. Match the timer length too when comparing scores.
Character 1Inline is the default: type directly over the passage. Choose Separate for a typing box below. Change before or after a run.Hide the timer, speed, accuracy and personal-best comparison during a run. Results return when you finish.
The first letter starts the clock.
Type directly over the passage. Correct letters stay green. Mistakes show your typed letter above the expected letter; an outlined space means you typed a space. Use Backspace or the arrow keys to edit. The original passage stays in place.
In your typing box, mistakes stay red and underlined, with the expected character above. An outlined space above means a space was expected; an outlined space on the typing line means you typed a space. Correcting a mistake clears its marker. Use the arrow keys, Backspace or Delete to edit.
Green flashes for 0.5 s. Red fades over 5 s.

About these comparisons
Average uses your earlier timed runs with the same timer, English region and text style, across all seeds. Each run counts equally. This run is left out. New PB means this metric beat its previous personal best. Comparisons are fixed when you start and use the full scores before rounding.

How the score works
Correct WPM counts correct characters still in your text, divided by five, then by elapsed minutes. Spaces, capitals and punctuation count. A finished timed test uses its full duration.
Entry accuracy counts correct character entries divided by all character entries. Wrong, Backspace, then correct is one correct entry out of two: 50%. Backspace is not an entry. Correcting an error keeps the original mistaken attempt in your accuracy. This is different from the accuracy of your final text.
Gross WPM, shown in the result detail, includes all retained characters, including incorrect ones. Neither gross nor correct WPM accumulates deleted or retyped text. Other tests may use a different gross formula. We do not add a separate error-penalised net WPM or multiply correct WPM by entry accuracy, which would penalise errors twice.
Speed and entry accuracy are checked independently against your practice goals, using unrounded values. Reaching both is the aim. For example, 150 correct WPM exceeds a 40 WPM goal, but 80% entry accuracy means one in five entries was wrong. Work on precision before raising speed.
Untimed practice uses elapsed time and ends when you choose Finish practice. It is never saved as a timed score. The clock continues in another tab. New natural paragraphs appear as you type. Paste, drop, bulk suggestions and composition are blocked. Press Escape to restart and return to the normal typing view.
