The site is responsive but typing practice is best done with a physical keyboard. Mobile touch screens don't provide the same tactile feedback needed for developing proper typing skills.

With 20-30 minutes of daily practice, most people achieve functional speeds (35-40 WPM) within 3-4 weeks. Reaching 60+ WPM typically takes 2-3 months. Your starting point and consistency affect the timeline.

Accuracy first, always. Building speed on sloppy technique creates bad habits that are hard to fix later. Maintain at least 95% accuracy before pushing for faster speeds. Speed naturally increases as accuracy becomes consistent.

Average office workers type around 40 WPM. 50-60 WPM is considered good for professional work. 70+ WPM is excellent. Professional transcriptionists often exceed 90 WPM. Your goal depends on your needs.

Identify which keys cause problems and practice them specifically. Slow down significantly when typing those keys until accuracy improves. Sometimes the issue is using the wrong finger - check proper finger assignments in our guide.

Daily short sessions beat occasional long ones. Fifteen to thirty minutes daily produces better results than two hours once a week. Consistency builds and maintains muscle memory more effectively.

Plateaus are normal. Try these approaches: push faster despite temporary accuracy drops, then dial back; practice with different content types; focus on weak keys specifically; take a short break and return fresh.

Yes! Games provide variety that keeps practice engaging. The time pressure builds reflexes and helps transition from conscious typing to automatic responses. Just don't rely only on games - structured lessons remain important.

Pain is not normal and signals a problem. Check your posture and desk setup. Ensure wrists aren't bent awkwardly. Take breaks every 30 minutes. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional before it becomes a serious issue.

Sit with feet flat on floor, thighs parallel to ground, back supported. Elbows at roughly 90 degrees. Wrists neutral (not bent up or down). Screen at eye level. Keep shoulders relaxed, not hunched.
