How to practice typing effectively

Most people plateau because they only take timed tests. Real improvement comes from breaking typing into its parts — the letters, pairs, and patterns your fingers keep missing — and drilling those in isolation until they feel automatic.

  1. Warm up (2 minutes). Loosen your fingers on the top 100 words. Don't push for speed yet.
  2. Drill your weak keys (5 minutes). Use the AI Coach — it looks at your recent tests and games and builds a targeted drill for the letters slowing you down.
  3. Practice punctuation and symbols (3 minutes). These are what separate a 60 WPM typist from a 90 WPM one in real-world writing.
  4. Train common n-grams (3 minutes). Pairs like th, in, er, and an appear in almost every sentence — automating them is where real speed comes from.
  5. Finish with a test. Take a 60-second typing speed test to measure your net WPM and log it to your progress.

Consistency beats intensity. Fifteen focused minutes a day for two weeks will improve your WPM more than an hour once a week. Track your streak on the Progress page to keep yourself honest.
