Awkward Letter Combinations
Smooth out the letter pairs that force one finger to work twice.
Instructions
Same-finger pairs are the slowest movements in typing. You cannot avoid them, but you can stop them costing as much as they do now.
Finger position: Small, controlled movements. Do not lift the hand.
Awkward Letter Combinations
Target: 42 WPM at 96% accuracy
The timer starts on your first keystroke. Press Escape to pause where pausing is allowed. Pasting is disabled.
- abc Correct
- abc Incorrect (wavy underline)
- abc Corrected (dotted underline)
- abc Missed (struck through)
Underlined keys are the home row. Use the opposite hand for Shift where you can. QWERTY layout.
You can practise on a phone or tablet, but a physical keyboard gives a far more accurate WPM measurement. On-screen keyboards add their own delay.

Consistency describes how steady your speed stayed from second to second. A high figure means an even pace; a low figure means bursts and pauses. It is a descriptive measure of this one test, not a scientific or clinical measurement.

Tips for this lesson
- Keep your wrists relaxed and floating rather than resting hard on the desk.
- Return every finger to the home row after each keystroke so your hands never drift.
- Use the opposite hand for Shift wherever you can - it keeps both hands balanced.
- Read one word ahead of the cursor so your hands always know what is coming.
- Aim for the accuracy target first. Speed follows once the movement is reliable.
