HOW THIS MODE WORKS

Home-row-only controls is the defining rule of this mode. The game, copy and practice goal are specific to this URL.
Read the mapping
Four home-row letters control the four directions.
Turn without looking down
Use the highlighted controls to steer and keep your eyes on the screen.
Remap and repeat
The mapping changes every two apples so more home-row letters receive practice.
WHY IT HELPS
Home-row familiarity
The key pool stays on the central keyboard row.
Screen focus
The game rewards keeping your eyes on the movement and controls rather than the keyboard.
Progressive exposure
Changing mappings distribute practice across the available home-row letters.
