How to Improve Your WPM
Breaking into the top 10 on this leaderboard requires consistent practice. Here's what the fastest typists have in common:
- They use all ten fingers. Touch typing is non-negotiable above 80 WPM.
- They prioritize accuracy over speed. Chasing raw WPM while making lots of errors is counterproductive.
- They practice every day. Even 10–15 minutes daily compounds quickly over weeks.
- They play ZType. Game-based pressure builds muscle memory faster than drills.
