Wonkeytype

Wonkeytype is a clone of Monkeytype, the typing test.

There is a hidden, focussed textarea input field, to handle key presses and updates your score real-time.

The hardest part was building the system that tracks your input and calculates your score. I had to reverse-engineer the original test to handle edge-cases, such as:

  • Moving on to the next word before finishing the current one
  • Typing extra characters after finishing a word
