Fix accuracy first: five drills that remove your worst keys

Your slowest keys are specific letters, not general slowness. Find them in your stats and drill them away one by one.

Typestrix Team

Open your Typestrix profile and look at per-key accuracy. Almost every typist has two or three problem keys, often P, B, or Y, caused by weak-finger reaches. General practice barely fixes these because common words avoid them.

Drill one: isolate the key

Type the problem letter fifty times in a row, slowly, with the correct finger. Boring works: isolation forces the weak finger to learn the reach.

Drill two: word ladders

Chain words containing the key, for P: up, put, open, happy, apply. Speed up only when accuracy holds above 98%.

Drill three: slow races

Join a multiplayer race and deliberately type at 80% pace. Racing tempts you to rush; practicing restraint under pressure transfers directly to real tests.
