Typing drills
General typing tests measure your speed. Drills fix what's slow. Each one targets a specific weakness — bigrams, pinky strength, numbers, symbols — so you stop relying on chance encounters with weak keys during normal practice.
Alphabet
A-Z, lowercase, five passes.
The simplest possible warm-up. Every finger touches every key it owns in turn — useful if you're starting cold, returning from a break, or trying out a new keyboard.
Start drill →Bigram Blitz
Top 50 English bigrams, four passes.
50% of your typing speed comes from a handful of two-letter sequences your fingers have memorized. Drilling them deliberately — instead of waiting for them to appear naturally in prose — is the fastest way to close gaps.
Start drill →Number Row
Digits and basic arithmetic, intermixed.
Number-row keys live a whole row away from home position. Most typists are 30-40% slower on numbers than on prose because they don't practice this row deliberately. 5 minutes a day closes the gap inside a month.
Start drill →Symbol Practice
Punctuation and shift-key symbols.
Symbols require the shift key plus a precise top-row reach. They're rare in prose but common in code, formal writing, and any work involving formulas, citations, or data formats.
Start drill →Pinky Drill
Q, P, Z, /, ;, ', and shift combos.
The pinky finger is the weakest and slowest on most keyboards. Any plateau in typing speed is partly a pinky-strength problem. Targeted drilling here transfers to every word containing those letters.
Start drill →Home Row
a-s-d-f-j-k-l-; combinations only.
The simplest possible touch-typing drill. Words built entirely from home-row keys train basic finger placement without any reaching. The right starting point if you're learning to touch-type.
