Give this approach a try

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.

The challenge in front of you

Type the line exactly or maximise correct typing within sixty seconds. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

From the start of a round

  1. Start challenge.
  2. Type words and spaces as shown.
  3. Check speed and accuracy feedback.
  4. Exact completion or the timer ends the round.

Choosing and moving on screen

Use a keyboard in the input field. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the example

WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Keep this in mind

Pasting is not representative typing practice. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
