Sixteen everyday words per round; local practice measurement, not a certified assessment.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Start challenge.
- Type words and spaces as shown.
- Check speed and accuracy feedback.

Controls
Use a keyboard in the input field. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
Pasting is not representative typing practice. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
