🪜 Step by step
1. 🔤 Letter keys
The letters aren’t in ABC order — they’re mixed up! Look carefully and you’ll find every letter from A to Z.
2. 🔢 Number keys
The numbers 1 to 0 live in a row at the top of the keyboard.
3. ␣ The space bar
The longest key! Press it to make a space between words.
4. ↵ Enter
Press Enter to start a new line or say “Go!”
5. ⌫ Backspace
Oops? Backspace erases the letter right before your cursor.
