What's up with the wpm? lol

My save file got corrupted after one hour of play yesterday and it would've taken far too long to get it fixed (emailing the dev, waiting for a response, blah blah, etc...no thx) so I just reset my save data and decided to start over. Humorously my wpm is stuck at some legally braindead sub-50 wpm that is impossible for me to do without falling asleep at the keyboard.

For those of you who tried arena before it was taken down, did it come into play there for matchmaking purposes or is it only relevant to the typing speed achievements? I don't even know exactly what happens in the arena so that may be a silly question. Also any tips on resetting it would be great, since mine isn't budging or resetting at all.

What we call "word per minute" is exactly the number of words you type in average in a minute in the game (with an average word length of 5 letters).
In the game, you type separate words (not full sentences) and you need to care about gameplay stuff. That's why the result is quite different than the score you can get with an official test.

That score is used in adaptive difficulty (when it's turned on), so we need to know your actual typing speed within the game. That does not mean you are a slow typer, don't worry
