As the title suggests, I just hit over 100 WPM. 😎
This has been a long, long journey. I still remember the first time I ran a typing test, i...

~140WPM on my first try
I used to race @jess and she'd pretty consistently have me beat
LOL thanks @peter. I actually type pretty slow with lots of typo errors these days - ever since I switched to a mechanical keyboard...but my carpal tunnel has gone away so no complaints 😂
Whoa, that's the highest WPM I've ever seen someone type. Superhuman or what? 🥴
@jess beat you with this speed? You guys are something else. 😳
Over 100 wpm is seriously impressive. I am in 70 wpm category
Around 70 wpm is great as well, buddy. Just stick to it and it'll improve more and more.
Guys, do share your WPM in the comments! 🙌
I'm wildly inconsistent. I think my baseline is somewhere around 90-100, but I feel like my average for most things is about 120. My best on monkeytype is 165 (on an incredibly simple test). I'm also not great with accuracy :p
120? Sheesh. What's the accuracy you're maintaining with that? 😬
About 85-90%. I'm pretty sick at the moment though, so I'm a little bit less focused. Tbh, I would much rather type at 100 WPM with 100% accuracy.
Yeah, agree. Higher accuracy definitely helps.
Heavy coder for sure.
😂 Mine never even crossed 80 wpm lol.
This whole WPM thing doesn’t matter that much. Anything above 50-60 should be enough.
Anyway, you’re doing such a great job, buddy, I look up to you a lot. Just keep writing and building! 🙌
Thanks man. Appreciate all the support I get. If you ever need anything, just DM me and I’m always happy to help. We know each other so it's never a problem.
Still, I believe building is much more exciting than writing. Writing can get boring after a while yk, but the thrill of building is something else :)
Every day, I see people building something amazing on Reddit.
Appreciate it, buddy. Exactly! As a dev, nothing compares to building. For me, the main issue with writing is just deciding what to write. 🤷♂️
Reddit is just awesome. I just created an account there this week. Never knew I was missing so much.
Impressive. I need to get better 😂
Go for it, buddy! ✌️
I use 10fastfingers. This is my Words per minute with accuracy
May be you haven't heard of me....

First try in the year. I used to practice blind typing literally every day for 2-3 years. It has developed into a solid skill that I can no longer worry about
keyboard: nuphy 65
That's a rock solid stat. Anything above ~95% accuracy with above 100 WPM is goated. I'm also really into smaller keyboards, especially 65% feels like the sweet spot.
I'm around 100 and i'm using a split keyboard, took me a few months to get here though.
Wow, that's a great WPM you have. I first learned about split keyboards from watching ThePrimeagen. I want to migrate to using it soon, but don't know when. BTW, how's been your experience with it?
It's more comfortable than traditional keyboards to me, but it takes a bit to learn, especially with mine having blank caps.
gotcha :D
That's some insane typing speed, @knight03! You guys are just too good. 🫠
you'll be there soon. Good luck
Congrats on hitting 100 WPM—that’s an awesome milestone! 🎉 Your journey from 28 WPM to over 100 in just three years is seriously inspiring. I can totally relate to the pinky struggle (Q and P still trip me up sometimes😄 ). Thanks for sharing your progress
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you 🙌
Bruhh I'm just at 72wpm
Spend 10-15 mins on Monkeytype or any other typing platform daily and you'll improve for sure.
I am in 45 wpm category
That's a great start. You have a long way to go, but you'll make it.
Not bad first effort :)
That's awesome. 🔥
I am about 65. Shrijal how much time you have taken to reach 100 wpm ? Do you practice Daily? How did you manage about numbers and parentheses etc
Took me around 3 years to go from ~28 wpm to 102. It might feel a bit like exaggeration, but when I started using Neovim with no auto character completion like typing start and end of parenthesis, quotes. It has quite improved my symbol typing speed.
Overall, to get better, just show up and do a few sentences on Monkeytype and make sure to not go for speed at first. Go for accuracy and only then speed. ✌️
Hope this helps! If you want to stick to showing up, set each new tab to open on your preferred typing site. Most browsers already support this, so it’ll always be there when you open a new tab, which might help with consistency.
Same 80-100
Wow, that's great! ✌️
Me personally, i'm around 60. Congrats on 100 tho
Thank You. Hope you hit 100 soon, buddy! ✌️
We have a coder at Bluspace who fell down the typing rabbit hole, and was able to pull off 102 with a broken right wrist... they lost interest in typing when their wrist recovered...
That's sad to hear.
Getting over 100 is an amazing accomplishment -- I honestly wasn't sure if that was physically possible! Managed 95 WPM, so I'm almost where you're at :D
You're almost there on hitting 100. Keep going, buddy, you'll reach soon. ✌️
