Colemak Wide Advanced: speed ladders, accuracy gauntlets, and endurance.

You moved to Colemak Wide and gave up years of QWERTY muscle memory. This course drills progressive speed ladders at 40, 50, 60, and 70 WPM, accuracy gauntlets, real-world text, endurance passages, and weak-key recovery on the new positions, which is how you get the speed back.

What you'll be able to do

  • Climb the speed ladders in order — 40, then 50, then 60, then 70 WPM targets
  • Hold accuracy through zero-mistake gauntlets instead of trading precision for pace
  • Type real-world text: emails, meeting notes, essays with citations, code, and legal language
  • Sustain your pace through multi-paragraph endurance runs rather than short bursts
  • Rebuild your slowest keys with weak-key recovery drills driven by your own stats
  • Clear the mastery checkpoints that close the course

Who it's for

This course is for

  • Colemak Wide typists — full-size and tenkeyless keyboard users who noticed right-pinky fatigue on standard Colemak
  • Colemak Wide typists whose accuracy is fine but whose pace stalls on long passages
  • Students, writers, and developers who want structured practice instead of repeated speed tests
  • Typists who want per-key stats showing which fingers are actually holding them back

Probably not for

  • Typists who have not finished the free Colemak Wide beginner course — start there, it costs nothing
  • Colemak Wide typists who still hesitate on capitals — the intermediate course comes first
  • Typists who want all three paid Colemak Wide courses — Complete Colemak Wide Mastery is cheaper

How the course works

  1. 1

    Ladder up

    Speed ladders raise the target in stages — 40, 50, 60, 70 WPM — so each jump is small enough to actually hold.

  2. 2

    Hold accuracy

    Accuracy gauntlets and real-world passages stop the speed gains from turning into a backspace habit.

  3. 3

    Build endurance

    Multi-paragraph endurance runs and mastery checkpoints prove the pace survives past the first thirty seconds.

Why fluency matters on Colemak Wide

Raw speed collapses the moment accuracy does: every mistake is a notice-stop-delete-retype loop that costs more than the keystroke saved. The ladders raise pace and precision together.

the wide mod shifts the right-hand block one column outward for better hand separation without changing a single letter assignment. That comfort only turns into speed once long passages stop breaking your rhythm.

Every Colemak Wide session tracks per-letter and per-word accuracy, so the drills keep pointing at the keys that are actually slow rather than the ones you assume are.

Frequently asked questions

Will this get me to 70 WPM?

The speed ladders target 40, 50, 60, and 70 WPM in stages, and the endurance and accuracy work is what makes those numbers hold outside a short test. How fast you get there depends on your starting speed and how often you practise — no course can promise a number.

Should I buy Complete Colemak Wide Mastery instead?

If you want more than this one course, yes. Complete Colemak Wide Mastery covers all 3 paid courses for this layout: $57 bought separately, $39 together, so you save $18. If you only need Colemak Wide Advanced, buy it on its own — both are one-time purchases with lifetime access.

Can I try Colemak Wide Advanced before I buy?

Yes. The first 2 lessons of every paid course are free previews — sign in and start typing. If the drills feel right, one purchase unlocks the rest.

Does my progress save?

Yes. Lesson completions, speed and accuracy history, and your all-time best records are stored on your account, so you can pick up on any device where you left off.

Is Colemak Wide Advanced a one-time purchase?

Yes. You pay once and keep lifetime access. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel — the course stays in your library for as long as SureTyping exists.

What if the course is not right for me?

Email us within 30 days of purchase and we will refund you in full, no questions asked. Try the free preview lessons first, and if you buy and it still is not a fit, you are covered.

Beginner courses are free for every keyboard layout. Start with the free lessons or get All-Access for $99.
