From the start of a round
- Start challenge.

Using the playing area
Use a keyboard in the input field. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A closer look at one example
WPM uses correctly positioned characters divided by five and elapsed minutes. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Pasting is not representative typing practice. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
