Is there a correlation?

What is your fastest TPM and WPM record?

TPM-160 (from 40 lines record)
WPM-98

I think people who type fast can move their fingers faster, But that doesnt mean they will have high tpm since finger speed isnt everything

WPM-22

The fastest I've ever gone winning a game is 166 TPM. My 40L TPM is only 145 though. My net speed on that test was 103 WPM, gross 111. I think a better online test to use is typera. It generates random tests instead of making you choose from a small list, and you can only backspace over your current word, unlike in these tests. Typera link = typera.tk My fastest time on there with my current name is 571 kpm, 114 wpm.

Red_Star, do you just type with 2 fingers or something? I don't even know how to touch type in qwerty, but I can still do 35 wpm by looking at the keys.

I can type without looking. I just can't type when I first wake up, and I can't type what I read well for some reason.

I took a typing class in middle school, a lot of people struggled to get the required 20 wpm for that class.

TPM: 86
WPM: 35

Not only am I a slow player, but a slow typer as well
