Right hand typing practice
Words typed entirely with the right hand on QWERTY. Fewer to choose from, but good for the right ring finger and pinky.
About right hand practice
There are far fewer right-hand-only words in English than left-hand ones, because the right side of QWERTY holds only two vowels, U and I, plus O and Y. Words like "you", "only", "look", "union", "pumpkin" and "opinion" are among them.
This drill is useful for strengthening the right ring finger and pinky, and for getting the right index finger used to its two columns (Y H N and U J M).
Tips
- Keep your left hand anchored on A S D F.
- Y and N are right-hand keys; resist reaching with the left.
- The pinky handles P and the semicolon; keep it curled.
