Why the global board is not real yet
A ranking is only worth looking at if the scores in it can be trusted. That needs accounts, results recorded on a server rather than in a browser, and checks against the obvious ways a browser-measured typing score can be faked. None of that is built, so filling the table with numbers and calling them other people would simply be a lie.
What exists instead: the layout, and your own board built from the runs stored on this device. When accounts land, the global table fills with real submissions and the sample label comes off.
How your board is built
Every finished test is appended to a list in this browser’s local storage — speed, accuracy, consistency, mode, length and the time it finished. The last fifty runs are kept, and the table shows your ten fastest by net WPM. Nothing is uploaded, so the board is per-device: the same person on a phone and a laptop has two separate boards, and the clear button deletes the whole list immediately.
The privacy policy lists this and every other key the site writes.
Chasing a number, usefully
If you want your own best to move, the ranking itself will not do it. Accuracy below 95% means errors are the bottleneck; an uneven consistency score means particular transitions are stalling you. The coach page shows which keys your profile points at, and the drills page covers what to do about them.
