English Typing Guide — QWERTY Practice

English typing remains essential for exams, remote work, coding, and email. This guide covers layout, technique, and links to free English typing tests.

QWERTY keyboard layout

The QWERTY layout was designed for mechanical typewriters and remains the default on computers worldwide. Letters are arranged so common English pairs are spaced apart to reduce jamming — modern typists benefit from decades of keyboard and software optimized for QWERTY.
