Advanced Typing Techniques
After 60 WPM, gains come from efficiency and reading ahead, not finger basics alone.
Chunking words
Instead of spelling letter by letter in your head, see whole words as shapes. Your fingers execute familiar sequences while your eyes read the next phrase.
Burst and recover
Expert passages include rare words. Burst quickly through easy phrases, then micro-pause on hard words without losing overall rhythm.
Beyond basic touch typing
Rolling fingers across adjacent keys in common bigrams (th, ing, tion) saves milliseconds that compound at high speed — but only after those patterns are error-free at medium difficulty.
Expert passages introduce rare words and punctuation; use them for stretch goals once medium tests feel routine at ninety-six percent accuracy or better.
