Free typing exercises online
Typing exercises are short, repetitive drills that train one specific group of keys until your fingers find them on their own. Here are five progressive sets — from the home row to numbers and symbols — to practise right now in your browser, with no sign-up and nothing to install.
Index fingers on F and J. Never leave the middle row.
How to practise so that it works
- Accuracy before speed. Repeat a set until you pass 95% accuracy. Going fast with mistakes teaches your fingers the wrong movement.
- Ten minutes a day, not one hour on Sunday. Muscle memory is built through frequency, not volume.
- Do not look at the keyboard. If you get lost, find the bumps on F and J with your index fingers and reposition your whole hand.
- Move in order. Each set assumes the previous one: do not jump to numbers if the home row still makes you hesitate.
What order to do the exercises in
The classic progression works outwards: first the middle row (where the fingers rest), then the upper row, then the bottom one — the most awkward — and finally numbers and symbols, which force you two rows up. Common-word sets can be mixed in from the start: automating the forty most used words speeds you up more than any other shortcut.
When the sets start feeling too easy
These exercises train specific keys, but they do not adapt to you: they repeat the same thing no matter where you fail. Kluppy’s course analyses every keystroke, spots your weak combinations and generates tailored exercises from your real mistakes.

Are the typing exercises free?
Yes. The sets on this page are free and unlimited and need no sign-up: you can repeat them as many times as you like without creating an account.
How long should I practise each day?
Between 10 and 15 minutes a day. Muscle memory is built through frequency, not long sessions: half an hour once a week achieves far less than ten minutes every day.
What order should I do the sets in?
Outwards from the middle: home row first, then the upper row, then the bottom one, and finally numbers and symbols. Common-word sets can be mixed in from the start.
Are they useful if I can already type?
Yes, and often most useful in that case. If you type fast but look at the keys or use only a few fingers, these sets help you relearn the position without losing the speed you already have.
When should I move on to a course?
When the sets start feeling too easy. These exercises always repeat the same thing; an adaptive course detects which specific combinations you get wrong and builds exercises from your real mistakes.
