ManyFree online typing tutor with typing games
The ManyHand Typing Tutor teaches touch typing step by step, right in your browser. Start on the home row and add a couple of keys at a time, then the top row, bottom row and numbers, before moving on to common words, letter pairs, capitals, punctuation and full sentences. The on-screen keyboard is colour-coded by finger and highlights the next key — including which Shift key to use — so you learn correct fingering, not just where letters are.
Every keystroke is measured, so the ⚡ Weak Keys lesson can build drills from your slowest and most-missed keys. When you want a break from drills, the games make practice fun: pop letters in Falling Letters, clear words in Falling Words, beat a pacer car in Pace Race, and learn key positions by feel in Key Hunt. Stars, speed history and high scores are saved only in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How to learn touch typing
- Find the home row. Rest your left fingers on A S D F and your right fingers on J K L ;. Feel the bumps on F and J so you can find this position without looking.
- Learn a few keys at a time. Start with the Home Row lesson, then add G H, E I, R U and T O Y. Move on when you earn three stars.
- Use the right finger for every key. Follow the colour-coded keyboard and the prompt that names the finger to use, including which Shift key to press.
- Keep your eyes on the screen. Never look at your hands. Once confident, switch the on-screen keyboard off.
- Put accuracy before speed. Aim for 96% accuracy or better; speed follows. Use the ⚡ Weak Keys lesson to fix the keys you miss most.
- Build speed with games. Play Key Hunt and Falling Letters to lock in key positions, then Falling Words and Pace Race to push your words per minute.
- Practise a little every day. Ten to fifteen minutes daily beats one long session. Track your streak and speed chart on the Progress tab.
Typing games that make practice fun
🔤 Falling Letters
Letters fall from the top of the screen — press the matching key to pop each one before it lands. Pick a key set (home row, top row, bottom row, all letters or numbers) and a speed; the pace rises every level and combos boost your score. Ideal for beginners learning where each key lives.
Play Falling Letters →🌧️ Falling Words
Words drift down the screen. Start typing any word to lock on, finish it to clear it, and press Backspace to switch targets. Choose short, common, long or capitalised words. Builds fluent, word-level typing speed.
Play Falling Words →🏁 Pace Race
Type a short passage while a pacer car moves at exactly the speed you choose, from 10 to 100 WPM. Beat it and raise the target by 5 WPM — a simple, measurable way to get faster.
Play Pace Race →🎯 Key Hunt
One key appears at a time while the keyboard labels are hidden. Press it as fast as you can; a wrong press lights up where the key really is. Trains touch memory and reaction time so you stop looking at your hands.
Play Key Hunt →16 typing lessons, from home row to your own text
- Start: Home Row (A S D F J K L ;), + G H, + E I, + R U, + T O Y
- Rows: Top Row, Bottom Row, Numbers

- Smart: ⚡ Weak Keys — drills generated from your slowest and most-missed keys · ✍ Your Text — paste anything and practise it a few lines at a time
Every drill shows live words per minute (WPM), accuracy, errors and time, with a picture of your hands showing which finger presses the next key. It ends with a star rating, the keys you missed, the words you slipped on (one click turns them into a practice drill) and your slowest words. Letter drills quietly give extra practice on keys you find harder, and a daily goal with a streak keeps you coming back.
