It's the same for me too. I think it's because it stops on the word when you make a mistake. That prevents you from typing a whole lot to have to backspace and fix. My Typeracer feels less fast than this and it usually is.

Am I the only one who types faster on this site specifically?
I've noticed I type a whole 10 wpm faster on this site for some reason. When I type quotes on other websites, I usually average around 125 wpm. Bring those same texts here and I somehow average 140. I'm not sure why though, maybe the criteria for calculating wpm is different on this website, or maybe it's the website layout that for some reason makes me lock in. Just an interesting observation.

for me its been the same speed for all sites
i feel like my speed's much slower on typer, mainly because you have to delete all of your mistakes, but on other sites, even if i make mistakes i'm still faster somehow i also tend to mess up whenever i start after the countdown because the site registers my shift key for too long which really sucks but maybe it's just my keyboard
