Common English words typing practice

How to practice

• Start with the top 100. Move up to 200, 500 and 1,000 once your speed holds steady.
• Aim for accuracy first. Speed comes once your fingers stop correcting mistakes.
• Short runs of 25 words, done often, beat one long session.
• For real sentences with punctuation and capitals, try passages from classic books.
