Type the displayed passage in order. Backspace corrects the last character. Paste is disabled. Escape pauses. Control or Command plus Enter restarts. Leaving the input pauses the timer.
How to practise double letters
Use two deliberate taps for a double letter. The aim is a relaxed repeated movement, not a heavy press. Read the spelling first because a familiar word can make your hands skip its repeated character. The samples mix several pairs instead of repeating one key for an entire run.
What to check after a run
Review whether a double became a single or a triple. Slow only the repeated movement, then connect it smoothly to the next letter.

1. Find the pattern

2. Connect the movement
The little yellow balloon floated above the narrow wall. A happy rabbit sat still while the summer breeze moved the grass beside the cottage.
3. Apply it in context
Ellis collected the labelled folders and carried a small notebook to the coffee table. The written address appeared twice on the sample sheet. Before copying the next sentence, check the double letters in collected, labelled, coffee and address rather than relying on the general shape of each word.
