Start with six letters. Type the newest one quickly and cleanly and the next letter unlocks, until the whole keyboard is under your fingers.
Each round is thirty short words built only from the letters you have unlocked. The newest letter glows in the row above the words and turns up in about half of them. Finish the round having typed that letter quickly and accurately and the next one unlocks. Then the next round mixes it in.
Letters arrive roughly in order of how common they are, so real words appear early and the practice feels like reading rather than drilling.
Learning all twenty-six keys at once means none of them gets enough repetition to become automatic. Adding them one at a time keeps every round easy enough to type without looking, and that is how touch typing sticks: by never letting your eyes drop to the keyboard.
Once you have the whole alphabet, smart practice keeps working on whatever is still slow, and the lessons cover numbers and symbols.
E, N, I, T, R and L. They are among the most common letters in English, sit close to the home row and are enough to build plenty of real words from the start.
Type the newest letter at the speed of about 35 words per minute with 95% accuracy, over at least a dozen presses in one round. The bar above the words fills as you get closer.
Early on there are not many real words that use only a few letters. Where there are not enough, you get short pronounceable made-up words instead. Your fingers do not mind, and it stops you leaning on spelling you already know.
Yes, in your browser. You can skip a letter you already know, or start over from six letters, from the options row.
