Hey HN!

WPM is a typing game based on writing actual coding solutions to garden-variety coding challenges.

I'm a software engineer, recruiter, and developer coach, and I've been building a suite of tools to polish fundamental technical and interviewing skills, and one of them is Typing.

I've run 100s of live coding challenges and contrary to intuition, a large number of interviews are not passed simply because there wasn't enough time, not to think, but to iterate, play around with the solution and improve.

Give it a go in Interview mode and see if you can beat it - this is no MonkeyType!
