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

Real writing needs punctuation. Pax takes the apostrophe (next to the semicolon) and the hyphen (top right). The question mark is Shift plus slash, and the exclamation mark is Shift plus 1, which is Pip reaching all the way up. After today you can type contractions like "don't" and questions like "Ready?".

Tips for today

  • The apostrophe is one step right of the semicolon. Pax only moves a little.
  • For ? and !, remember the opposite-hand Shift rule.

Common mistake

Typing the question mark with the left Shift and left hand. ? is on the right, so Pip holds Shift.
