How is WPM calculated?

WPM is the number of correctly typed characters per minute divided by 5, the usual length of a "word" in typing tests. Each correct word counts its letters plus the space. Raw WPM uses every keystroke, right or wrong.

Do I need a Nepali keyboard?

No. Type the sound in Roman letters on any keyboard and it turns into Devanagari as you type. For example "ghar" becomes घर and "raamro" becomes राम्रो. Capital letters give the retroflex and long sounds: "T" is ट, "D" is ड, "I" is ई.

What is the difference between Easy, Hard and Freestyle?

Easy shows each Nepali word with its roman spelling underneath. Hard shows only the Devanagari, so you have to work out the spelling yourself. Freestyle gives you an empty box to type anything; it measures speed only, not accuracy.

Can I spell a word differently from the hint?

Yes. A word is marked correct when your typing produces the same Devanagari, so "AmA" and "aamaa" both count for आमा.

Is my personal best saved?

Yes, your best WPM for each mode and duration is saved in this browser only. Nothing is sent to a server.
