Show HN: Typing Faster by Drilling Pairs (non-mobile)

There's a lot of typing tests out there that focus on WPM and single key presses, but typing quickly is also about smooth rhythms. I found this targeted practice more useful than just doing typing tests over and over as it puts the finger movements in context. I grab the most used words that have that letter combinations though not all combinations had enough words for this to be viable (like 'zq' for example).

This is designed to improve keyboard typing on computers so it won't really work on mobile. Personally got interested in this problem while watching friend type at 150WPM and thinking about what sorts of things it would take to get there from 100WPM.
