Finger Lessons
Learn to type the right way, one key at a time. Each lesson below teaches proper finger placement and technique for a single home-row key, building the muscle memory that makes fast, accurate typing possible later. Work through them from A to Enter, or jump to whichever finger needs the most work.
A Key
Not startedThe A key is the left little finger's home-row reference on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Use it to establish a repeatable starting position without holding your hand rigidly.
S Key
Not startedThe S key sits on the home row under your left ring finger, one position to the right of A.
D Key
Not startedThe D key sits on the home row under your left middle finger, right next to S.
F Key
Not startedThe F key sits on the home row under your left index finger. It usually has a small raised bump so you can find it without looking.
J Key
Not startedThe J key sits on the home row under your right index finger. Like F, it usually has a raised bump for orientation.
K Key
Not startedThe K key sits on the home row under your right middle finger, right next to J.
L Key
Not startedThe L key sits on the home row under your right ring finger.
; Key
Not startedThe semicolon key sits on the home row under your right pinky, completing the home row alongside A.
Spacebar
Not startedThe spacebar is struck with either thumb, whichever is more natural for you. This lesson mixes it with the home row keys you've already learned.
Enter Key
Not startedThe Enter key is struck with your right pinky, reaching away from the home row. This lesson has you press it at the end of every short line.
Build a reliable starting position
Use these drills when you are still searching for individual keys. Place your index fingers on the raised marks on F and J, then let the remaining fingers settle beside them on the home row. Read the finger hint in each lesson before beginning. The space and Enter exercises add movements that interrupt letter typing, so practice returning to your starting position afterward.
Work through a small number of keys at a time. The repeated letters are intentional: they let you notice which finger moves without also having to read unfamiliar words. Use a light press, keep your shoulders relaxed, and slow down if neighboring fingers start taking over the movement.
After an accurate attempt, repeat the drill while looking at the screen. Move to the hand lessons when individual presses feel predictable. A high speed on a repeated key is not the same as fluent sentence typing; the next stage teaches the transitions between fingers that everyday words require.
After a focused lesson, check WPM and accuracy on a fresh typing test. Compare attempts with similar text and settings.
