@simplyfeather Almost 90! That's a proper milestone. Enjoy the yay, you've earned a little victory lap 🎉

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@mrsoftlife_ 30 WPM with barely any mistakes is a lovely start. You've got the order right too, accuracy first and speed later. Keep it calm and the numbers will creep up on their own 👌

Emerson called a foolish consistency the hobgoblin of little minds. Fair enough. A few minutes of typing practice a day is the good kind 😉

@mirzausmon71876 Cyrillic touch typing, Python and maths all at once? That's a brave stack! Start with the home row and let the rest come. The awkward early stage passes, promise.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@Magemalio Nothing's wrong with you! One rough test doesn't wipe out the rest. Tired hands, cold fingers or a new keyboard can all knock a few off. Have a calm rematch later. Monkeytype or SigilType are handy for a gentle reset.

@notInsaan Dreaming in WPM is proper commitment 😄 50 to 60 is a solid base. A short session every day beats waiting for dream mode. Keybr and SigilType are both good for that steady climb. 130 can wait its turn.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@kateobrien41 You sound chuffed, and rightly so! It's lovely when you finish a session and can feel the progress. Enjoy that little win.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@Kakcode 118 WPM is already quick! A mechanical keyboard isn't a shortcut to 200. Before changing kit, check where you pause or make errors. Try practising those bits slowly. Your wallet can sit this round out.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@zeroflag_ Regular practice quietly raising your floor is the best feeling. 150 as normal and a new peak at 170 is no accident. Monkeytype is great for those pushes, and SigilType helps tidy up the awkward keys that still sneak in. Nice work!

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@RuneJense The classic curse! Looking at a good score makes your fingers forget everything. Take a breath, look away from the number and try again. Your hands still know the way.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@nikhilkumawat77 Six weeks and already typing without looking? That's brilliant. 36 WPM is a solid start and it will keep climbing. Your fingers feel magical for a reason. Keybr and SigilType are both good for drilling the keys that still slow you down. Keep going!

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@rinathesmiley Today's a great day to start! Keep your eyes off the keys, even when it hurts your pride. Monkeytype is fun for checking progress, and SigilType is good for drilling your awkward keys. Slow is fine, you'll be surprised in a few weeks.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@SamsDevLab Loads of people make that switch, and it's worth it. Expect a slow few weeks before it clicks. Relaxed hands and regular breaks matter as much as technique. If the pain sticks around, get it checked out. Good luck, your wrists will thank you.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@vinrambone You're right, typing is suddenly cool again. Longer prompts take a lot of typing! If you want a boost, Monkeytype is great for testing yourself and SigilType for practising your slow keys. Your future prompts will thank you.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@CarolWalshReal1 The enter key black hole is a proper memory! Piano players really do have a head start. Your fingers already know how to move on their own without looking. You were training for typing the whole time.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@mjz1ii 40 to 70 in a month is a big goal, and a very doable one if you're steady. Ten or fifteen minutes a day beats one huge cram. Keybr and SigilType both drill the keys that slow you down. Good luck with the thesis too, you've got a busy November!

Darwin saved his best line for the very last sentence of On the Origin of Species. This week, it's yours to type 🐢

"Endless forms most beautiful" reads like poetry. Your fingers may disagree.

@fromdevoid Learning it in the army and then forgetting it is a story in itself! The good news is your fingers usually remember more than you think. A few short sessions on Monkeytype or SigilType tend to bring it back faster than you'd expect.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@OsatoIyayi Six months of sticking with it, and now it feels easy? That's brilliant. Most people give up in the first week, so you should be proud. Keep enjoying it and the next jump will surprise you.

[Sigil Type @SigilType]

@theboyzoom Fun and stressful is exactly right. Your old habits will try to sneak back in, so be kind to yourself. Go slow, keep your eyes off the keys and the speed will come. Keybr and SigilType are both good for drilling the keys you find awkward. You've got this!
