About this level

The last row of letters lives below home, along with the comma and the full stop. Reaching down is the trickiest move on the keyboard, so we take it slowly. Finish this level and you can type every letter of the alphabet.

What you practise here

  • C and comma — Middle fingers curl down. Keep the other fingers on home. Target: 16 words per minute at 89% accuracy.
  • V, B, N and M — Pointer fingers do the most work down here. B is left, N is right. Target: 16 words per minute at 89% accuracy.
  • X, Z and full stop — Ring and pinky reach down. These are rare letters, so be patient. Target: 15 words per minute at 88% accuracy.
  • The whole alphabet — Every letter is now yours. Type real words with all three rows. Target: 22 words per minute at 93% accuracy.
  • Alphabet champion — Twenty-six letters, eight fingers, no looking down. Target: 24 words per minute at 94% accuracy.

How this level is scored

Every lesson awards up to three stars. One star is for finishing, two for finishing accurately, and three for accuracy at the level's pace — speed on its own never earns a star. Lessons in this level also wait for the correct key: a wrong press does not move the cursor on, so a child cannot practise the wrong finger movement. Words per minute is recorded but never shown to the child — it appears only on the parent and progress pages.
