Build Speed Without Losing Accuracy
Build rhythm, short bursts, and sustained pace around your own typing baseline. Speed targets adapt only when accuracy stays under control.
A mobile keyboard can still practise accuracy and pace. WordsFlare measures the resulting text, not physical touch-typing finger technique.

Open lessonWhat personal pace means
A comfortable pace is a robust local estimate, not a rank or universal ability score. WordsFlare uses a median instead of a personal best so one extraordinary result cannot distort every target.
Short bursts are different from comfortable speed
Brief rounds can explore a slightly quicker rhythm, but they do not redefine your normal baseline. Longer controlled typing and meaningful test history provide better evidence for a repeatable pace.
Speed Training FAQ
How does WordsFlare choose my speed target?
WordsFlare prefers the median of up to 10 recent qualifying typing tests, then checks an accurate assessment sample or qualifying long controlled sessions. A local calibration is available when those sources are missing.
What if I do not have enough typing history?
You can complete a 40-second comfortable calibration. You may also open any speed lesson without a target range; the course is never locked.
Should I type as fast as possible during speed training?
No. Type around the displayed personal range while keeping at least 95% accuracy. Exceeding pace with low accuracy does not increase the next target.
Why did my target pace decrease?
After a completed attempt below 94% accuracy, the next range decreases conservatively. Results between 94% and 97% hold the range steady; only a clean reached target can increase it.
Does a short burst change my normal typing baseline?
No. A 12-second burst is not treated as comfortable pace evidence. Typing tests, accurate assessment text, calibration, and qualifying longer controlled sessions are more suitable baseline sources.
