Build accuracy.
Find your rhythm.
Comfortable typing starts with repeatable movements. Use a physical QWERTY keyboard, let your shoulders relax, and keep your hands close enough to reach the keys without stretching. Choose a pace that lets you notice the next character before you press it.
Find the home row
Rest your left fingers on A S D F and your right fingers on J K L ;. The raised marks on F and J help your index fingers find their starting positions by touch. Your thumbs can rest near the space bar.
| Finger | Left hand | Right hand |
|---|---|---|
| Pinky | A | ; (semicolon) |
| Ring | S | L |
| Middle | D | K |
| Index | F | J |
Follow the highlighted finger for each reach. Your left index covers R, T, F, G, V, and B; your right index covers Y, U, H, J, N, and M. The other fingers cover their neighboring columns. Either thumb can type a space. For a capital, hold Shift with the opposite hand while the usual finger types the letter.
Make small, reliable movements
Reach from your resting position and bring the finger back after the key. Keep your fingers gently curved and your wrists relaxed. Avoid lifting the whole hand for every character. Look ahead at the next word when you can, and let an even rhythm develop without forcing it.
The finger guide shows the assigned finger; it cannot detect which finger you physically use. Try the F and J drill if finding the home row feels uncertain. Use upper- and lower-row drills for difficult reaches, then return to everyday words or sentences to practice those movements in context. Every set is available from the start.
Use the controls and feedback
- Choose a practice set, then select Start practice or press Enter from the practice screen.
- Type the displayed characters, including spaces and punctuation. A wrong character does not advance the exercise; enter the expected character to continue. Pasting is disabled.
- Press Escape to pause, then Enter on Resume practice to continue. Moving focus away from the typing input also pauses the exercise.
- After completing an exercise, use its main result button or press Enter while that button is focused. Words and sentences advance to another passage; foundation drills offer the next lesson.
Accuracy is correct character entries divided by all character attempts, multiplied by 100, rounded to a whole percentage. For example, 100 correct entries in 105 attempts display as 95%. Correcting a mistake lets you continue, but the missed attempt still counts. Backspace clears the current error indication without removing earlier attempts or undoing correct entries.
Aim for the recommended 95% accuracy before asking yourself for a more continuous rhythm. If a particular reach keeps interrupting you, review Your progress and use targeted key practice. A short, attentive exercise gives you a clearer next step than rushing through repeated mistakes.

There is no account sync, and an unfinished exercise is not saved across reloads. Clearing this site's browser data removes its stored history.
