Understanding WPM and Typing Skills
What is WPM?
WPM (Words Per Minute) measures how many words you can type in one minute. In typing tests, a "word" is typically defined as 5 characters, including spaces and punctuation. This standardized measurement allows for fair comparison across different texts and typing scenarios.
