WPM stands for Words per Minute. A word is standardized to five characters or keystrokes. So, "zebra" counts as one word, but "rhinoceros" counts as two.
PTS is a complex metric calculated from text complexity multiplied by typing speed divided by number of errors. Text complexity is the number of different characters it the text. To get higher score you need to type more characters faster with fewer errors.
