Shift Glow: Capital-Letter Typing Game for Modifier Rhythm
Spotlight capitals in two steps—hold Shift, then press the letter before the ring fades. A modifier typing break and typing game without WPM pressure.
Why two steps matter
Shift Glow shows a capital letter in a spotlight—not a full QWERTY grid. Step one is holding Shift; step two is the letter. Releasing Shift between capitals is required, so you cannot ride the modifier through an entire round.
That teaches the same rhythm as real typing: modifier down, letter tap, modifier up. Whack-a-Key hunts keys; Shift Glow trains paired timing in a focused typing game.
Use Whack-a-Key or Reach Corners when errors are wrong-key; use Backspace Breeze when errors are uncorrected typos.
Phone browsers without a hardware keyboard can read guides but cannot play typing games; plan desktop or tablet + keyboard.

Who benefits most
Pick this typing break if timed tests show slow capitals or doubled-shift errors. One minute is enough—longer sessions invite fatigue without adding skill.
Return to punctuation or prose tests afterward to confirm capitals feel automatic again.
Return through the game footer CTA to timed practice so typing breaks stay tied to real typing habits.
