Speed isn't just about moving your fingers fast. It's about rhythm, precision, and optimized arcade-level muscle memory.
Always return your fingers to ASDF and JKL;. This minimizes travel distance. Funnytyping's Standard Mode helps reinforce this by using algorithms that balance left and right hand usage.
It’s a common myth that typing fast makes you accurate. The opposite is true:slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. If you practice at 100% accuracy, speed comes naturally. Use our Accuracy Quest mode to force yourself to type perfectly; it ends the game on a single mistake.
Don't rush easy words and stall on hard ones. Maintain a steady metronome-like beat. Our Smooth Caret visual setting is designed to help you visualize this flow.
Boredom is the enemy of progress. Mixing up your routine with different challenges keeps your brain engaged. Try the Rain Mode to practice vertical reading and quick visual processing.
Professional typists rarely mash the Backspace key multiple times. If you mess up a word, pressOpt+Backspace (Mac) orCtrl+Backspace (Windows) to delete the entire word instantly. This saves milliseconds that add up to WPM gains.
Your wrists should hover above the desk, not rest on it. Sit straight with your monitor at eye level. Fatigue slows you down. A mechanical keyboard (specifically linear or tactile switches) can also reduce finger strain compared to laptop membranes.
This is the golden rule of touch typing. If you look down, you break the connection between the screen and your muscle memory. Funnytyping supports a "Blind Mode" practice (try turning off your monitor for fun!) to force reliance on tactile feedback.
Practicing for 15 minutes every day is infinitely better than practicing for 3 hours once a week. Your brain needs sleep to consolidate muscle memory. Use our Stats Dashboard to track your daily streaks.
