The 12 letters are split across left and right sides by an optimization algorithm, which is then used to optimize the arrangement of the 6 letters on each side.

I set an initial location for E and T, the most common letters, with E on the left side and T on the right side, to encourage a balance of typing across left and right hands, and to reduce the number of permutations to compute (3,628,800 for 10 letters). Each permutation corresponds to a unique arrangement of letters, and we score each arrangement by the average of the scores for all possible pair of letters (bigrams) in this arrangement. The score for each bigram is a product of the frequency of occurrence of that bigram and the factors Flow, Strength, and Speed:
