What is WPM?
Words per minute (WPM) is the standard measure of typing speed. One "word" is defined as five characters - so typing 250 characters in one minute equals 50 WPM. Net WPM subtracts uncorrected errors; gross WPM counts all keystrokes.
How to Improve Your Typing Speed
Focus on accuracy first - speed follows naturally. Keep your fingers on the home row, avoid looking at the keyboard, and practise in short consistent sessions. Even 10 minutes a day produces measurable improvement within weeks.
