I really recommend MonkeyType. The UI is great, the stats are clear, and the modes are really elegant.

I used it daily like the author for about 6 months to improve from 80wpm to about 120wpm.

Yeah this is really good site!!

I used it for a while but plateaued after some time. Using https://www.typequicker.com/practice now - has more detailed stats and a daily typing test with a leaderboard to motivate me to do at least a little each day Lol

I'm curious:

- how many minutes per day?

- after each test, did you redo wrong/slow words?

My current typing speed, as measured by Monkeytype, is 80wpm (after a deduction for errors).

15 minutes a day at most, usually less, and I did not do any drills on slow words. Over time errors smoothed out.
Came here to say this. It really is a well made site

I'm at 140, gaining ~1wpm per hour spent on it. Sometimes I feel like I'm only getting better at re-entering words on a screen
