Your accuracy supports your speed.

WPM range	Level	What it means
0-24 WPM	Beginner	Focus on keyboard familiarity and accuracy before speed.
25-39 WPM	Developing	Usable for casual typing, with room to build rhythm.
40-59 WPM	Average to good	Comfortable for everyday work, messages and study.
60-79 WPM	Fast	Strong typing speed for most office and productivity tasks.
80+ WPM	Advanced	Fast enough for demanding writing, coding and note-taking workflows.

A higher WPM score is most useful when accuracy stays high. If your accuracy is below 90%, slow down slightly and practice clean keystrokes first.

For steady progress, use short timed tests, repeat common words and track both WPM and accuracy over time.
