I'm assuming "nifhtnare" is meant to be nightmare.  The two misspelled characters are each one character out to the left.  That suggests you may not quite hitting the key central but hitting it at the edge.

Also you should really be watching what you type (on the screen) rather what you type on the keyboard.  Touch typing is a very useful skill which doesn't involve you looking at the keyboard at all.

It's not the same as touch typing, which would be almost impossible on a phone.

O.P I'm assuming you are using Swiftkey to take advantage of the swipe typing. With the swipe typing you still have to make sure that the correct word has been selected, there is always a choice of 3 initially. Also make sure you cover all of the letters intended within each swipe.

Damn I thought it was a normal computer keyboard the OP was using.  Didn't read the post properly.  Oops
