Choose this format when you have five minutes for one attempt. The clock keeps running during interruptions after your first input.
Suppose you enter 500 correct characters over four minutes and spend the fifth minute reading before the timer expires. The full-session rate is 20 WPM. Dividing by four minutes gives 25 WPM and leaves out the reading time.
Choose Restart after an interruption if you want to compare uninterrupted attempts. Words are added as you type so you can continue through the full five minutes.
See how elapsed time and corrections affect WPM and accuracy.
Timed personal bests use full-duration results. Scores saved under the older passage limit stay separate in this browser.
The timer includes pauses after the first input. Record the interruption alongside the score if you keep the attempt.
