How does the Kluppy method for learning touch typing work?
Kluppy is a 40-level course that progressively introduces keys, starting with the two index fingers on the home row and moving all the way to the full keyboard with accent marks, symbols, and…
I already know how to type, can I start at a higher level?
There is a placement test for those who can already type fluently: it consists of three consecutive texts and, depending on the result, places you directly in an advanced level, skipping the previous…
Why do I have to repeat a level I already know?
Because to move forward, doing it well once is not enough: you need volume. Kluppy counts your accumulated keystrokes in each level and requires a minimum before unlocking the next one. This…
How many levels does Kluppy have?
The course has 40 levels, from level 1 ("The Anchor", the two index fingers) to level 40 ("Legend", the final exam). From level 41 onwards, the course does not end: it continues with infinite levels…
What are the adaptive infinite levels?
These are the levels starting from 41, once you have finished the course. Instead of teaching new keys, they set a speed target calculated from your own record, which goes up a little bit with each…
How long does it take to learn to type without looking at the keyboard?
Our estimate is 20 to 30 hours of actual practice to complete the course. With 10 or 15 minutes a day, that's a few months; with longer sessions, much less. But you will notice that you stop looking…
How many minutes a day do you recommend practicing?
Between 10 and 15 minutes a day, every day or almost. This is by far the most effective way: short, frequent sessions build muscle memory much better than a weekly binge. Half an hour on a Sunday…
At what age can you start using Kluppy?
In practice, you can start from age 7 or 8, when hands can already comfortably reach the keyboard and reading is fluent. The ideal window is between 8 and 12, but the method works just as well at any…
Is Kluppy suitable for adults?
Yes, absolutely. The method is the same at any age: typing is a mechanical skill and is trained the same way at 10 as at 50. In fact, an adult usually progresses faster through the first levels…
What is WPM speed and what is a good score?
WPM stands for words per minute, which is calculated by dividing your keystrokes per minute (KPM) by five, because an average word is considered to have five characters. You can choose your preferred…
How does Kluppy measure accuracy?
Accuracy is the percentage of correct keystrokes out of the total: if you type 200 keys and miss 6, your accuracy is 97%. Every keystroke is counted, not every word, and mistakes count even if you…
Why does the level require a minimum speed to progress?
Actually, it does not. The minimum speed of each level decides whether an exercise counts as passed and what reward you get, but it does not block your progress. To level up, you only need two…
I'm stuck on a level and can't pass it, what should I do?
First things first: look at the level progress bar. Almost always, what is missing is practice volume, not skill. Keep doing the exercises even if they don't turn out perfect: every keystroke counts…
Can I skip levels?
Not mid-course: the path is progressive and each level builds on the previous one. The only way to start higher up is the placement test, available at the beginning, which can place you directly in…
Can I repeat levels I've already passed?
Yes, as many times as you want. A completed level stays open forever on the map: you just enter and practice normally. It's a great way to review without losing your place in the course, and you keep…
Does the AI adapt the exercises to my mistakes?
Yes, and in several ways. Kluppy records which keys you miss and which letter combinations trip you up, and uses that information to generate exercises that focus right there. Full adaptation with…
Does Kluppy teach how to use punctuation marks and numbers?
Yes, both, and with their own levels. Full punctuation is learned in levels 19 to 27, and the number row in levels 36 and 37. They are not an extra: they are part of the course, with their own…
Does Kluppy correct hand placement?
Yes. Level 0 uses your computer's camera to check in real time that you are placing your hands correctly: that you spread your fingers, maintain the correct shape, and rest your index fingers on the…
