Touch Typing Left-Hand Home Row Drills (ASDFG)
Build automatic ASDFG home-row control before timed left-hand tests. Short touch-typing drills for the left zone that pair with sixty-second benchmarks.
Anchor fingers before speed
The home row A S D F G is the hub for every left-zone reach. Drill it with eyes on screen until each finger returns without looking.
Add top-row QWERT and bottom-row ZXCVB only after home-row accuracy stays above your target for a full minute untimed.

Micro-sessions beat marathons
Three five-minute blocks across a day outperform one tired thirty-minute session. Pause when shoulders rise; tension hides in left-hand error bursts.
Use /drill for single-letter focus, then confirm carryover on the embedded left-hand test.
If right-hand keys feel ignored during practice, that is the filter working—do not mash both sides to inflate zone results.

Graduate to timed zone runs
When home-row drills feel boring, that is the signal to benchmark. A sixty-second left-hand test shows whether speed is real or just memorized drill text.
If errors cluster on G or B reaches, spend another day on bottom-row extensions before raising tempo.

The in-page tool uses left-hand letter-zone prompts (QWERT ASDFG ZXCVB). Zone WPM is not comparable to full-keyboard scores—open the full left-hand test, check the left-hand leaderboard, then try the right-hand test for balance.
