Accuracy before speed

Fast mistakes are expensive. Clean technique first; speed follows muscle memory.

The cost of errors

Every typo usually costs a backspace plus a retype — often more time than typing the key correctly once at a slightly slower pace. Aim for high accuracy (many coaches suggest 95%+) before chasing new WPM records.

A simple progression

1. Slow down until fingers hit the right keys without peeking.
2. Hold that accuracy for several sessions.
3. Nudge speed up a little; if accuracy falls, ease back.

Using site stats

Watch accuracy in your daily charts. If WPM climbs while accuracy slides, treat that as a signal to rebuild form — not as pure progress.
