How to get better at typing

A practical plan: fix posture, prioritize accuracy, practice in focused chunks, and review weak spots regularly.

1. Posture and hand position

Sit upright with feet flat, screen roughly at eye level, and wrists roughly level with the keyboard. Return fingers to the home row between words. Tension in shoulders or forearms slows you down and increases errors.

• Keep elbows near your sides, not flared wide.
• Light touch — you do not need to bottom out every key aggressively.
• Look at the prompt on screen, not your hands.

2. Accuracy before speed

Racing with many mistakes trains bad habits that are hard to undo. Aim for high accuracy first; speed rises naturally as correct patterns become automatic. If your accuracy drops below a comfortable level, slow down until it recovers.

3. Use the right practice modes

Funny Dogs Typing offers four complementary modes:

• Words — common vocabulary and letter combinations.
• Sentences — spacing, capitalization, and natural rhythm.
• Pangrams — every letter of the alphabet in one line.
• Course — structured progression through curated material.

Rotate between them across the week instead of only chasing WPM on one mode.

4. Review weak spots deliberately

Note keys or words you miss often. Premium members get performance-weighted word selection so harder words appear more often. Free members and guests can still pause after each line, read the stats, and repeat categories that feel rough.

5. Track sessions, not single spikes

One great WPM score feels good, but weekly averages tell the truth. Members can open Practice → Stats for graphs; guests see per-line stats during a session. Celebrate steady improvement in accuracy as much as speed.

6. Short sessions beat rare marathons

Ten to twenty focused minutes daily beats a single hour on weekends. Stop when fatigue creates careless errors — those errors teach your fingers the wrong motion.
