[Flash Game] Typeracer - Page 2

Korioni · 04-25-2008, 12:57 AM

Sad, during my EQ days I used to be at around 120 wpm. Now apparently i'm closer to 60'ish.
2 things I need to get used to though. One is the scrolling text. I type in sentences, not words. Second; I put 2 spaces after a sentence, which come off as an error.

I do the space thing too - considering that's how I was taught in keyboarding class. Can't break the habit.

blah, maxing out at about 80wpm average, got a top score of 109 but that was an easy sentence, bunch of 4-5 letter words. I don't really care for the scrolling text. I think the way they handle typos screws me up too.

I'm maintaining between 110-130 and win most every game I play...still lose sometimes though, I always thought I was a freakin fast typer, but people are getting like 150. Jeeze.

Nice to see "FOH Screenshots" with 191 wpm, who is that?

James · 04-25-2008, 03:22 PM

It's me.

I type with 6 fingers as well. I don't know how I type with only 6, but I only use 1 finger on my right hand. I failed keyboarding my first year in highschool with a 15 because of that and my posture. Funny thing is that I was typing 130-160 wpm.

I never realized I use close to all my fingers. Although I use pinky only for Shift and enter. And the ring finger for when I type two words that are together. But anyways... i was getting 50 (on bad sentences) to about 80. Dunno how to improve my typing. I wouldn't say practice, because I do type A LOT. So what do people use to type faster?

95 wpm =/ Man I sxr now that I don't play games all the time.

Practice precision in your typing. Then slowly start working your way faster. Your muscles start to memorize the movements and you can train them to speed up.

WTB Qwerty keyboard.

The problem is that the game uses preset sentences that people could macro, because they come up repeatedly. They need to use random strings of words.

I got up to around 110 WPM once, but it wasn't high enough to break the top scores. I went as low as 75 on some of the harder / longer ones, but usually ended up winning them.

I got in (barely.)
