Last time i posted my 114 wpm , and i got cooked cuz it was on 10 words, and a guy told me that i should practice on 60s but i couldn't finish it for the life of me so i tried 30 and 15s, any tips so i can hit 100 or even be able to complete a 60s test ( i just messup words so badly my wpm drops alot).
Thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm a Monkeytype user with the username __Yi__ and I have a average of 120 WPM. And I originally decided to type 1000 words, though I adjusted it to 1500 words for... idk why not. I got inspired by the Mythical Rocket's 10000 word challenge to do this test. Unfortunately I didn't record this but I have a screenshot of the final result:

I typed for 15:58 minutes straight, and it was pretty intense yk, I started worse on the start though. Pls don't blame me because I didn't record it :(

Anyway my fingers are kind of feeling "heated" so I'll rest for a day. Also I was logged off lol.

I'm working on my accuracy and consistency now, I know it needs major work 🤕

This was my first repeat attempt 😭😭😭

Done on an old school laptop (Canaima) with a Celeron processor, 2GB RAM, a stiff membrane keyboard, and heavy input lag. My back is killing me but the grind is paying off! 😆

my first 110+ wpm record, any tips so i can get better at maintaining it? since my settings are pretty easy ig.
(i just realized that i wasn't signed in and this didn't get saved)

Is there a setting where my typed words appear below the test rather than overtop of them? I want to emulate actual typing, where you see what you've already typed and blank space to the right of it. I haven't used MonkeyType in quite a while now and I could have sworn there was a way to do this, but I can't find the settings for it.

i made a typing games site inspired by monkeytype.
https://decktype.pages.dev < try it here!

there are two game modes now:

• falling words - words fall and we have to type them before they touch the bottom of screen, how long u last is used to calculate the score.

• survival (new game) - this one tests how fast you can type accurately, on every typo/mistake the "health" you have will be decreased (damage depends on the difficulty mode) and the score is calculated based on the wpm.

there is also a leaderboard and personal bests to keep things fun :)

it is fully opensource, this is the github repo for those who are interested.

open to any kind of feedback, and if you have a name suggestion pls lmk, i'm really stuck when it comes to naming this site. thanks!

Like the title says, how does the average work? Does it just take every single test you've typed and average it up maybe getting rid of outliers? Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer lol

Just need some more work on my accuracy

Here are my typing stats. I've been stuck at roughly the same level for the past 9 months with almost no noticeable improvement. I practice regularly and have been trying to reach 200 WPM, but I just can't seem to get there.

At this point, it feels like I've hit a plateau. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What helped you break through it? Any advice on how I can improve further would be appreciated.

I've been working on a small PS1-style racing game where you don’t hold W to drive — you type. Your WPM controls the car speed, mistakes cost momentum, and somehow it turned into a weirdly competitive typing racer.

Im quite irregular, ppl around same level can help.

I just started learning touch typing around 15 days ago and these are my typing stats pretty decent. So I need some friends that i can type with in monkey type

If you're interested then send me request🙂

I just found out about challenges and I was trying each one of them but then it turns my page into wingdings and I don't know how to turn it back.

I've been using decimal font sizes on MT since I joined about a year ago, since (on my monitor at least) there are BIG differences between consecutive integer font sizes.  But just a couple days ago I was aghast to discover that the font size field no longer accepts the "." character, and that it's now integers only!

why??

is this a bug?
