Start with accuracy

Accuracy builds the foundation for speed. If you type fast but constantly correct mistakes, your real speed drops.

Use proper finger placement

Keep your fingers near the home row and minimize hand movement. Over time, muscle memory makes common patterns automatic.

Practice in short sessions

Five to ten minutes a day is often better than an hour once a week. Consistency matters more than intensity.

Retest and track progress

Run a typing test regularly and track your WPM and accuracy. Seeing progress keeps motivation high.
