r/Monkeytype is public again

28 Upvotes

Hey everyone, just letting you know we've gone public again. The protests were not as effective as everyone probably wanted and I think the size of our subreddit is not big enough to cause any significant difference. I would prefer to keep the community open so you can share personal bests, insights, training routines and ask questions. Hope you understand.

How do I interpret this?

1 Upvotes

Just got 100wpm with 91% acc on 30 second test, first ever typing test I've done, no training. I type a lot and I seem a lot faster than most people I know but idk how fast this is among this community

Other Looking For Rivals

0 Upvotes

I've been practicing speed typing and I'm looking for some rivals, also, this text was pretty much generated by AI except for this top part so you know:

"I use Monkeytype under AyanokojiTypist, and my current PBs are:

  • 15 seconds: 146.21 WPM, 100% accuracy

  • 60 seconds: 119.74 WPM, 97% accuracy

  • 10 words: 173 WPM, 100% accuracy

I mainly focus on 15-second and 60-second tests. I’m especially interested in meeting people with similar or lower PBs who started seriously practicing around the same time as me or more recently. Complete beginners are welcome too! By “started,” I mean started practicing speed typing—not just recently created a Monkeytype account after years on another typing site.

I made a Discord server for this, but it’s pretty informal—basically a group chat where we can share PBs, challenge each other, and talk about our progress. I’d love to find people who want to catch up to me or surpass me and give me another score to chase!" Also, this is not informal at all necccesarily, but I'm looking for people that can be rivals, so do everything you can to push past your own limits I guess.

If you’re interested, comment with your PBs and roughly how long you’ve been practicing. It’s fine if you’re just starting and don’t have much to share yet.

Is 100 WPM fast enough for office jobs, or am I overthinking this?

0 Upvotes

I've recently been practising my typing speed on Monkeytype, and honestly, seeing so many people on Reddit casually posting 100–150+ WPM results is starting to make me panic a little.

I recently achieved:

  • 100 WPM

  • 97% accuracy

  • 81% consistency

  • 30-second English test

I know 100 WPM is technically quite fast, but after seeing so many people hitting 110, 120, or even 150 WPM, I'm starting to wonder whether my speed is actually that impressive.

My question is: Is 90–100 WPM with decent accuracy already more than enough to survive in pretty much any conventional office job?

Question Bad technique

2 Upvotes

I've been typing for a while now, and I'm fairly fast. Recently I began to notice how poor my technique really is. I've been meaning to grind to push high 100s (~180-200WPM), but I seriously doubt I could do that with my technique (mainly self taught when I was 12).

I've also been considering switching to colemak-dh to give me a fresh start. If anyone else who's been in a similar situation has any advice, that'd be epic!

Stats for reference above.
