Accuracy Rating Tiers
S-Tier (98%–100%): Master Level. Flawless muscle memory with virtually zero backspace usage, as seen in Home Row Hero master runs.
A-Tier (95%–97%): Excellent. The ideal benchmark for elementary and middle school students.
B-Tier (90%–94%): Good. Strong baseline, but room to smooth out tricky reaches in Top Row Practice.
C-Tier (Below 90%): Needs Practice. Speed should be reduced until accuracy reaches 95%+.
