This mode uses only the most common English words β short, familiar words that your fingers already know well. The goal is to measure and push your maximum WPM in a short burst. It is useful for breaking through a speed plateau. If you are stuck at a particular WPM in standard tests, regular speed challenge sessions can help push past that level. Do this once a day before your main practice session.
High WPM without accuracy is not useful in most roles. Speed challenge practice should complement, not replace, accuracy-focused sessions.
