The document skeleton in HTML

Five lines that every page needs before it needs anything else.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <title>Typing practice</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Typing practice</h1>
  </body>
</html>

How it works

The doctype is not a tag; it just says this is HTML5.
lang on <html> tells screen readers and translators what to expect.
The charset meta must appear in the first 1024 bytes of the file.

At the three-star pace of 60 tokens a minute, this run takes about 56 seconds.
