Tips: fix common errors

Targeted fixes beat blind speed drills when the same mistakes keep appearing.

Nearby-key confusion

• If you swap nearby keys (i/o, e/r, n/m), isolate them in short word drills.
• Type the problem pair slowly ten times correctly before speeding up.
• Check keyboard angle — wrists twisted sideways increase mis-hits.

Punctuation and spacing

• Sentences mode exposes missing spaces, double spaces, and comma periods.
• Say "space" in your head at word boundaries until spacing is automatic.
• Watch for shifted symbols — Shift timing often lags behind letters.

Doubled letters and word endings

• Words like "address" or "committee" break rhythm — mark them when stats show misses.
• Slow down on the duplicate letter; do not rush through both.

Flow vs. correction during drills

• Finish the line, then read stats — mid-line backspace storms destroy rhythm practice.
• Use the missed-word hint after word lines to queue words for mental review.
• Repeat the same category until accuracy stabilizes before chasing WPM.

When to move on

If accuracy is above your target for several lines in a row, increase speed slightly. If errors spike, drop back 10–15 WPM. That loop is how most steady improvers progress over months.
