Typing Tips for Better Speed & Accuracy

Want to type faster? More accurately? Without looking down or slouching halfway through your test? Yeah, we get it. That’s exactly why we’ve created this no-fluff guide to help you boost your WPM and make your typing more efficient.

🪑 1. Your Posture Matters

  • Sit straight with your back slightly leaned against the chair.
  • Feet flat on the ground. No folding your legs like a ninja.
  • Keep your elbows at a 90-degree angle, close to your body.
  • Your screen should be at eye level—no hunching.

🖐️ 2. Hand & Finger Placement

Let’s talk about the home row position:

  • Left hand fingers: A - S - D - F
  • Right hand fingers: J - K - L - ;
  • Thumbs rest on the spacebar (don’t slam it, just rest it).
  • Return to home row after every keystroke.

👀 3. Eyes on the Screen, Not on the Keyboard

This is non-negotiable. The more you rely on looking down, the slower you get. Muscle memory is your best friend—practice until your fingers just know where to go.

🐢 4. Start Slow, Then Build Speed

Speed comes with consistency. Don’t rush. Start by getting your accuracy above 90%—speed will follow. One hour daily is more effective than typing like crazy once a week.

🤲 5. Use All 10 Fingers

Hunt and peck is fun until you want speed. Train all 10 fingers, even if it feels awkward initially. That’s how pros do it. You'll thank yourself in a week.

🧠 6. Keep Practicing Daily on TypingFix
