What is WPM?
WPM stands for words per minute. Typing tests commonly estimate one "word" as five characters, including spaces. Cartivo Typing calculates your WPM in real time based on correctly typed characters, and shows it alongside accuracy and error count so a fast score can't hide a sloppy one.
Do I need an account to use Cartivo Typing?
No. Cartivo Typing works instantly with no login, no sign-up, and no email required. Just open the page and start typing.
Is my progress saved?
Your session stats — runs, XP, best WPM, and badges — are kept only while the page stays open in your browser. Closing or refreshing the tab resets your session. We don't store your typing history on a server or attach it to any account.
What's the difference between the typing modes?
Classic is a balanced 60-second test. Sprint is a fast 30-second burst. Survival ends after three mistakes, rewarding clean typing over speed. Combo rewards building an unbroken streak of correct keystrokes. Zen has no timer, ideal for relaxed accuracy practice. Endless keeps feeding you new passages with no stopping point.
How is accuracy calculated?
Accuracy is the percentage of correctly typed characters out of all characters you've typed, correct and incorrect combined.
Why did my combo reset to zero?
Your combo counter increases with every correct keystroke in a row and resets to zero the moment you make a mistake. It's designed to reward sustained accuracy, not just occasional fast bursts.
Is Cartivo Typing free?
Yes, completely free to use with no paywalls or premium tiers. The site is supported by ads, described in our Privacy Policy.
Can I use Cartivo Typing on mobile?
The site is responsive and viewable on mobile devices, though a physical keyboard gives the most accurate typing speed results.
