WPM (Words per Minute)

WPM, or Words Per Minute, measures the speed at which someone can read or type. It indicates how many words they can process in one minute. For example, if you read or type 60 words in 1 minute, your WPM is 60. This metric is useful for assessing fluency and efficiency, especially in contexts like typing tests or gauging reading volume. Higher WPM generally reflects greater proficiency and speed, but accuracy and comprehension are also important factors to consider alongside raw speed.
