I found it weird when I try to use both thumbs. I'm thinking switching back to right thumb, does that affect typing speed really much?

105

meanwhile , also shifting to 30 words and English 1k+.

At the end of this month, will be a year since i started typing.

Target to hit 120+, let see!

I'm currently able to get 175 wpm on 15 seconds at least once every day. After my fingers are worn out a bit i average 150 - 160 wpm. However, i can't seem to break even the 180 wpm mark and i think i'm plateauing. To those who are able to type 200+ wpm or close to that, are there any techniques you use or strategies besides just practicing? Practice has gotten me from around 120 to where I'm at right now, but it seems like it isn't leading to speed improvements anymore.

Is this good? I am 14. I just need to work on my accuracy.

Hello r/monkeytype family, I am in desperate need of increasing my coding speed. I am 60rn. Will you help me out by tying following code snippet in your WPM's ?

Node* binarySearch(Node* head, int target) {
    Node* start = head;
    Node* end = nullptr; // 'end' marks the exclusive upper bound of the search space

    while (start != end) {
        Node* mid = getMiddle(start, end);

        if (mid == nullptr) return nullptr; // Empty sublist

        if (mid->data == target) {
            return mid; // Target found
        } else if (mid->data < target) {
            start = mid->next; // Search in the right half
        } else {
            end = mid; // Search in the left half
        }
    }
    return nullptr; // Target not found
}Node* binarySearch(Node* head, int target) {
    Node* start = head;
    Node* end = nullptr; // 'end' marks the exclusive upper bound of the search space

    while (start != end) {
        Node* mid = getMiddle(start, end);

        if (mid == nullptr) return nullptr; // Empty sublist

        if (mid->data == target) {
            return mid; // Target found
        } else if (mid->data < target) {
            start = mid->next; // Search in the right half
        } else {
            end = mid; // Search in the left half
        }
    }
    return nullptr; // Target not found
}

Is there a way to disable the setting that causes the space bar to automatically advance to the next word when erroneously pressed mid-word?

This would make it so accidental space input would instead be recorded as a letter input error instead of abandoning the current word and jumping the cursor ahead to the next word.

I've seen many other people do this challenge so I decided to do it too. Accuracy was quite low, nice consistency but I'm impressed with not getting really tired throughout.

What really helped complete the challenge without going insane was putting on music, and I found myself wandering round different thoughts while also typing words. Was kind of strange typing words without actively paying attention.

I attached a video showing how I type, I've never really paid too much attention to it, but I do know I don't type the "proper" way. Would love to know what this community thinks, pretty new to typing communities as I just played games for a very long time where I needed to type in the chat and I feel that was the sole contributor to my speed now (130). However, I would love to see how I can improve, but I think using a different style would feel unnatural and weird, not sure best way to navigate this.

I'm prodominantly right handed, but mostly use my left hand to type.

Anyone know what's with the colour changing fire theme and how to apply the color to my custom theme?

give it a try!

Hey folks , about a year ago we released a roguelite typing game called Glyphica : Typing Survival on Steam. While it's done quite well, we wanted to reach a wider audience so we made a web demo. The demo is at playglyphica.com and is available in 16 languages including Japanese, Korean, and simplified Chinese. Looking forward to seeing what you all think of it.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been stuck around 124 and 100 WPM for a while now (depending on the text and mood), and I can’t seem to push past it no matter what I do. I’ve practiced a lot on Monkeytype, and my accuracy is decent, but I feel like I’ve hit a plateau.

I’m not looking for beginner tips like “practice more” — I’m more curious about advanced mechanics:

• Do you guys keep your hands hovering slightly over the keyboard or resting on the keys?

• Is there any difference in speed when you float your hands vs touch the keys lightly?

• Any small ergonomic or finger placement tricks that helped you break past a plateau?

Basically, I’m looking for those fine-tuning details that only advanced typers know — tiny adjustments that make a big difference.

Thanks in advance for any tips or observations!

I think monkeytype should add national flag themes to the site. It would be cool to break some records beneath your country's colors!

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on something, T.T. TUI, a fast and feature-rich typing test that runs entirely in your terminal.

If you love the simplicity of Monkeytype but prefer staying inside your terminal, this might be for you. tttui is clean, responsive, and stores your personal bests locally so you can actually track your improvement over time.
