changedDifficulty Settings - Classic ModeFor players still building their typing fundamentals. Enemies attack slower, deal less damage, and words stay simple - using only letters you've already practiced. Your adaptive keyboard tracks which keys give you trouble and keeps drilling them until you've got them down. No leaderboards - this mode is meant to be low pressure. Take your time, train your fingers, and move to Normal when you're ready.

For players still building their typing fundamentals. Enemies attack slower, deal less damage, and words stay simple - using only letters you've already practiced. Your adaptive keyboard tracks which keys give you trouble and keeps drilling them until you've got them down. No leaderboards - this mode is meant to be low pressure. Take your time, train your fingers, and move to Normal when you're ready.

You start with just 6 keys unlocked. Words are built only from those letters. As you hit the speed threshold for each key, a new one unlocks - following the order of the most common letters in English, so you're always learning the most useful keys first.

Once you've unlocked all 26 keys and hit the speed threshold for each one, the mode shifts to maintenance. Words are drawn from the full alphabet, but your slowest key stays in light rotation so it doesn't fall behind. NORMAL DIFFICULTY
