Frequently Asked Questions
Practise daily in short focused sessions of 15 to 30 minutes. Focus on accuracy first — speed comes naturally once your fingers stop hesitating. Use proper home-row finger placement, don't look at the keyboard, and rotate between short sprints (15s, 30s) and longer endurance tests (3 min, 5 min) to build both burst speed and stamina.
The average adult typing speed is around 40 words per minute (WPM). Office workers usually need 40 to 60 WPM, professional typists hit 65 to 90 WPM, and competitive typists exceed 100 WPM. Anything above 40 WPM with 95%+ accuracy is solid for most jobs and academic work.
Typing speed is measured in words per minute (WPM). Every correctly typed character is counted, divided by 5 (the average English word length), then normalised to one minute. Errors don't add to your WPM — that's why accuracy directly affects your score. FastFingers shows live WPM and accuracy as you type.
A timed test gives you an objective benchmark. You can't improve what you don't measure — taking a typing test regularly shows whether your practice is actually translating into faster, cleaner typing. It's also a common requirement for data entry, transcription, customer support, and government job applications.
15-second tests are great for warming up and posting a personal best. 30 to 60 seconds is the classic benchmark — long enough to show real rhythm. 3 to 5-minute tests are the truest measure of sustained typing ability and what's used in most professional or government typing exams.
