Using FingerWPM

Quick answers for starting a test, understanding scores, keeping progress, sharing results, and using verified certificates.

How do I start a typing test?

Choose the typing language, difficulty, and duration, click the typing area, and enter the first printable character. The timer starts with that first character.

Where can I see my progress?

As a guest, choose “Enable & save this result” directly after a completed test, or use “Enable on-device progress” in the progress section, if you want this browser to remember practice results. You can pause it or delete the local history at any time. If you sign in, completed normal tests can also be saved to your account history, where you can filter and compare results.

What should I compare between tests?

Compare Net WPM and accuracy together, and keep language, difficulty, and duration consistent. A faster score with much lower accuracy may not represent better practical typing.

How do I share a result?

After a test, choose Share result. FingerWPM creates a privacy-preserving /share/ link containing only the practice-result values, not your name or account ID. The shared page can be shared again or downloaded as a branded PNG score card. Shared practice links are self-reported and are not verified certificates.

How does verified certificate mode work?

Sign in, choose the verified certificate test, and complete the protected 3-minute attempt. Qualification requires at least 40 WPM and 95% accuracy, followed by server-side verification. A successful verified result can be opened from its certificate link.

Why is my score different from another typing website?

Typing sites may use different formulas and text sets. FingerWPM documents its current formula on the methodology page so you can understand exactly what is being measured.
