Words Per Minute (WPM)
WPM measures your typing speed. It's calculated by dividing the number of characters (including spaces) by 5, and then dividing by the time taken in minutes.
WPM = (characters ÷ 5) ÷ time in minutes
Accuracy
Accuracy is the percentage of characters you typed correctly. It's calculated by dividing the number of correct characters by the total number of characters.
Accuracy = (correct characters ÷ total characters) × 100%
