Bottom row
Bottom row is where self-taught typing usually looks down. The keys sit lower, so people drop a wrist instead of curling a finger. The list stays in that reach: can, van, zinc, blank, crumb, mix, box. Z is the left pinky, the same finger as A. X is the ring, C the middle, V and B the left index. On this diagram N and M are both the right index. Curl and return. Do not make the bottom row a new home.
B and N sit toward the middle, and both index fingers want them. Use the finger the diagram names and leave the other index on its bump. If your forearms ache, stop. Pain is not the goal. A sloppy finish still unlocks the next lesson in this browser, so retry when the error count is high.
