How this list was compiled: The eight lessons and their rules were written for this page. Every line was built on 2026-10-02 from the ENABLE word list, https://norvig.com/ngrams/enable1.txt, using the hand, row and finger that this site's type the alphabet list gives for each letter on a QWERTY keyboard. Words of five to nine letters that use both hands and more than one row were kept, words that end in ed, ing, ly or a single s were passed over, any word that is an item of another typing list on this site was left out, and each word is used once. To keep the words familiar, words below the first 22,000 of a public count of English words on the web, https://norvig.com/ngrams/count_1w.txt (read 2026-10-02) were passed over; no figure from that count is shown. The lessons were filled in this order, each taking the 80 most common words not yet used that meet its rule: lesson 3, two or more letters on Q, Z and P, or three or more on Q, A, Z and P with one of them not A; lesson 2, half its letters or more on the bottom row; lesson 4, half or more on W, S, X, O and L; lesson 5, half or more on T, G, B, Y, H and N; lesson 1, two or more places where one finger types two different letters in a row; lesson 7, four or more letters in a row for one hand; lesson 6, a double letter, words with two doubles first. A word that meets two rules can therefore sit in the later of the two lessons. Lesson 8 takes 80 more words, two a line that start with a left-hand letter and two with a right-hand letter, and capitalizes them. The notes beside the lines of lessons 1, 6, 7 and 8 are worked out from the same list. Rude words were taken out of the words chosen, with names of people, places and brands, words that name a disease, a gun, an alcoholic drink, a bet or a religion, and British spellings. Licence: The rules, the lines and the notes are original to this site. The ENABLE word list is in the public domain (release statement quoted at http://wordlist.aspell.net/scowl_v1-readme/). The word count was used only to pass over rare words; nothing from it is reproduced.
How it works
These advanced typing lessons are for someone who already knows the keys. Each of the eight drills one awkward motion in real words: same-finger pairs, the bottom row, little and ring fingers, index reaches, double letters, one-hand runs and capitals.
Read the full guide
Eight lessons, one motion each
1. Type the first line. The page opens on Lesson 1 and gives its 20 lines in order.
2. Press Finish to stop. No clock runs.
3. After a run, press Next for the next lesson; under More options, open Practise for any lesson or all eight mixed, or set 60 seconds for a clock.
What each lesson drills
Lesson 1 has words such as central, where one finger types C then E. Lesson 2 leans on the bottom row, 3 on Q, A, Z and P, 4 on W, S, X, O and L, and 5 on T, G, B, Y, H and N. Lessons 6 to 8 are double letters, four-letter runs for one hand, and capitals with both Shift keys.
Every word uses both hands and more than one row. One-row and one-hand words have pages of their own.
In Lesson 8 the Shift key changes hand with every word: right, left, right, left.
Questions and answers
Are these hard typing lessons?
Harder than plain word drills, by design. Each lesson is built on one awkward motion, such as one finger typing two keys in a row or a little finger reaching for Q, Z or P. No key is taught here.
What is a same-finger pair?
Two different letters in a row that one finger types, such as CE, UN, MY or LO on a QWERTY keyboard. The finger has to travel between the two keys. Every word in Lesson 1 holds two such pairs or more.
Is there a lesson for numbers and symbols?
Not here. Digits, symbols and punctuation have their own page, numbers and symbols typing practice. These eight lessons use letters, the space bar and, in Lesson 8, the two Shift keys.
Can the lessons be timed?
Yes. Under More options, pick 60 s and lines keep coming until the clock stops. The result gives words per minute and accuracy, and this browser keeps your best for each length.
