2. Top Row

The top row adds Q, W, E, R, T on the left and Y, U, I, O, P on the right, building on the home row you already know.

Practice keys: Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, P. Type the drill below at a pace where you can stay accurate. Reaching 95% accuracy marks this lesson complete and unlocks the next one in the sequence.

Notice that your fingers now have to travel up and then back to the home row instead of staying in one place. That return trip, not the reach itself, is what this drill is really training.

This is lesson 2 of 7 in the beginner course. If a key trips you up repeatedly, it's worth pausing here rather than pushing through to the next lesson, since each stage assumes real comfort with everything before it.
