Typing Sprint shows a short passage. Type it as accurately as you can; words per minute and accuracy update live as you go.
Useful for warming up fingers or tracking improvement over repeat visits.
How to play Typing Sprint
- Click the text area and type the shown passage from start to finish.
- WPM uses five characters per word (standard gross WPM formula).
- Accuracy counts correct characters versus total typed characters.
- Finish the full passage to complete the sprint.
Strategy tips
- Accuracy beats speed at first — errors cost more time than slow correct typing.
- Keep your eyes on the passage, not the HUD.
- Pause one beat at punctuation; many errors happen at commas and periods.
- Run twice back-to-back: first for accuracy, second for speed once your fingers know the shape.
- Compare WPM on the same passage after a week of daily sprints, not across different texts.
