Your session

Rest your fingers on the home row, press any key, and follow the key that lights up. There is no timer until the short check at the end.

About today

Today every finger gets a job. Rory (left ring) takes S, Lulu (right ring) takes L, and the two little fingers, Pip and Pax, take A and the semicolon. Ring and little fingers feel clumsy at first. That is normal: they have had years of doing nothing while one or two fingers did all the work. Give them time and they catch up quickly.

Tips for today

  • Move only the finger that types. The others stay resting on their home keys.
  • Say the letter quietly in your head as you press it. It links the key to the finger faster.

Common mistake

Letting the whole hand drift left or right. Keep your index fingers anchored on the bumps.
