Scoring Guide
How The Arena Works
🏁
The Race
You and three bots type the same passage length. Bots move at fixed WPM targets from your difficulty tier. First to 100% wins the lane — but your score is your real WPM.
📐
The Math
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. That's the industry standard. Accuracy = correct ÷ total keystrokes. Errors stay visible red until backspaced.
🥇
The Ranks
Finish placements use net WPM so slow-but-perfect beats fast-and-sloppy. Beat a personal best? The arena remembers it locally — chase it tomorrow.
| Tier | Bot Range | Good For |
|---|---|---|
| 🌱 Chill | 22–45 WPM | First-timers, kids, touch-typing warmups |
| ⚔️ Pro | 50–80 WPM | Most office professionals target this zone |
| 💀 Insane | 90–130+ WPM | Court reporters' cousins and keyboard nerds |
FAQ
Arena Questions
What's a good typing speed?
Average is ~40 WPM. Office-proficient is 55–70, developers benefit from 65+. Above 90 puts you in the top ~5% of typists worldwide.
Does typing speed actually matter for programmers?
Yes — not for raw output, but for keeping flow state. Ideas outrun your fingers at low speeds; every hesitation breaks the thought chain you were holding.
Are the bot speeds fair?
Bots hold constant WPM like metronomes — real humans surge and stall. Beating a Pro-tier bot means your average genuinely exceeds theirs.
Why mechanical keyboard sounds?
Audio feedback builds rhythm and makes practice addictive (in a good way). Sounds are synthesized in-browser — zero downloads, works everywhere.
