Typing Practice Modes
Thirteen free drills, each built to train one specific typing skill — from single-letter reactions and common-word speed to bigram transitions, keyboard rows, programming vocabulary, shift-key control, the number row, and a survival mode where the clock is the score. Pick the drill that targets your weakest link, or head to the main typing test to play freely.
Core
4 modesThe four modes the main test runs on, ordered by how much word there is to read.
Challenge

Two routes through the thirteen, depending on where you are.
01New to touch typing
Work through the drills in this order: start with Home Row to anchor your hands, add Alphabet drills to memorize every key position, then move to Easy Words and Medium Words to build real speed.
02Already fast
Break plateaus with Letter Pairs to fix your slowest transitions, grind the Top 200 Words for everyday speed, and stress-test with Long Words, Mixed Case, and Numbers.
Want the pressure turned up instead? The reaction test gives you five seconds and makes you earn every one after that — the fastest way to find out which words you actually hesitate on. Every run posts to the global leaderboard. Prefer a fixed clock? Run a timed test from 15 seconds to 2 minutes.

The 200 most common English words make up most of what you type — the drill with the highest return on the time you put in.
