FingerWPM / Start Here

Beginner path

Start here: build a comparable typing baseline

Use one simple rule for the first week: compare the same language, difficulty, and duration. Improve accuracy first, then speed.

Take a 60-second baseline

Choose a goal to tailor the week.

Your 7-day plan

Day 1 · Baseline

60 seconds · Easy. Record Net WPM and accuracy.

Day 2 · Error drill

Run a normal test, then use Practice Coach for the patterns you missed.

Day 3 · Accuracy repeat

Repeat the same 60-second setting. Aim to reduce errors, not force speed.

Day 4 · Short rhythm

30 seconds for clean rhythm, then stop. Do not compare this score with the 60-second baseline.

Day 5 · Baseline again

Return to the exact Day-1 setting and compare.

Repeat baseline

Day 6 · Controlled challenge

Move to Medium only if accuracy is stable at roughly 95% or higher.

Day 7 · Review

Repeat Day 1, review Practice Coach errors, and keep the next week's focus to one improvement target.

Final comparison

What counts as progress?

Progress means Net WPM or accuracy improves under the same language, difficulty, and duration without a large drop in the other metric. One unusually high burst is less useful than a repeatable result.

Optional skill work

Structured lessons build finger-control patterns, while My text practice lets you rehearse real work or school material privately. Neither mode enters the public ranking.
