Feels like it needs some sort of feedback when you type too slowly to get the next word. Plus maybe making it a bit more obvious that you can select a target speed for the WPM.
Agree, I didn't understand that one can change the WPM before reading this thread.
It's a cool challenge! I tried it at 90wpm and cleared most words. Some I had to do 2 or 3 times to do fast enough. Then I hit my nemesis: I can't type "necessary" fast enough for 90wpm. Tried it 20 times.
1. That was very enlightening
2. I added skipping a word by using the [Esc] key
It would be interesting to see if one could safe those words for later and practise just those.

This is very cool and it arrives at a good time: I have a whole delete-back-word thumb key on my split-key, and I've been trying to train myself to use it with little success. This is actually perfect. I recognize this might push against the minimalism you're going for, but I might suggest having the next word, or even two words, off to the right and greyed out. What you're measuring is recognizing and typing the wor…
Agreed with the look ahead. I’m constantly doing that whether doing a typing test or typing my thoughts. (Currently capable of sustaining 170+ wpm over a minute). This site looks like great fun as a member of the toolbox for making my Colemak more fluent!
170+@1m is impressive. I'm around 140-160@1m, ~230 burst, regular QWERTY.
I've created this small project to fix my own typing and thought you might benefit from it as well. To calculate the WPM words with 5 letters are taken. To reach e.g. 80 WPM you'd have 150ms per character. The application uses ~1000 most common english words and only gives you the next word once you've cleared the word in the calculated time. The time is measured only as soon as you press the first key. Give it a try…

I usually go to https://10ff.net/ when I am looking to practice the whole typing flow.

Do you have any ideas for the feedback when your speed is to low? I am not a designer and struggle to find ideas that keep the UI as minimal as it is right now while improving the user experience.
I have tried several times to relearn typing, but each time I've fallen back to my old ways. Has anyone actually been successful in learning how to type correctly from scratch? If so, how did you do it?
