Speed Drill

Bigram Blitz

Train the most common two-letter combinations so finger travel becomes faster and more automatic.

Bigram Blitz is designed for users who already know the keyboard but still stall on frequent letter transitions. Training those transitions directly often produces faster gains than generic repetition.

Why bigrams matter

Typing speed is heavily affected by transition cost between letters. Bigram-focused training targets those transitions directly, which makes it a sharp tool for intermediate users who are accurate enough but still feel mechanical drag.

How to use blitz rounds

Keep rounds short, focused, and frequent. Bigram drills are warmups and correctives, not the whole program. Their value comes from sharpening weak transitions before a benchmark, certification run, or longer practice session.
