FAQs

Do lowercase letters need Shift?

No. Uppercase and lowercase pods use the same matching letter key.

Can children play without a timer?

Yes. Practice has no hearts or timer, and stationary practice removes moving targets.

Can I play on a tablet?

Yes. Turn on the A–Z keyboard to tap matching keys. Desktop keyboard play is the primary experience.
