A clean and interactive Typing Speed Test Web Application built using HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript.
This project focuses on real-time typing analysis, WPM calculation, accuracy tracking, and dynamic UI feedback to simulate a basic typing test environment.
It is developed as a frontend practice project to strengthen DOM manipulation skills, event handling logic, and UI state management using pure JavaScript.

This project is built to:
- Practice DOM manipulation
- Implement real-time calculations
- Understand event-driven programming
- Strengthen JavaScript logic building
- Improve UI structuring and responsiveness
⚠️ This is a frontend-only project. No backend or database is used.
WPM is calculated using:
(number of valid words typed / time elapsed in seconds) × 60Only non-empty words are counted.
Accuracy is calculated using:
(correct characters / total characters typed) × 100Incorrect and extra characters reduce accuracy.
