How to play
- Pick a level: home row, home row with G and H, top row, bottom row or all letters.
- Type the highlighted letter on your keyboard, or tap the on-screen keys.
- A wrong key counts as an error and does not move on. The timer starts with your first key.
- At the end you see your words per minute and accuracy. Your best for each level is saved on this device.
Controls: mouse, touch or keyboard. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Rest your fingers on A S D F and J K L, with your thumbs on the space bar.
- Look at the screen, not at your hands.
- Go for accuracy first. Speed follows once the letters come without thinking.
- Use the finger nearest each key and return to the home row after every letter.
FAQ
- What is the home row?
- The middle row of letters: A S D F G H J K L. Your fingers rest there between keys.
- How is speed worked out?
- Five characters count as one word, so words per minute is characters over five, divided by the minutes taken.
- Can I play on a phone?
- Yes. Tap the on-screen keys, though a keyboard gives a truer typing speed.
