Hmm, I got 62, not too bad I suppose considering I haven't wrote any essays in a few months.

NotAGolf · 23 Apr 2013 at 13:47

49. I reckon I could get up to 55 after a couple more attempts, not much more than that

manic111 · 23 Apr 2013 at 13:47

79 WPM, 73 correct, 5 wrong (not sure what happened to the extra word!)

e: Just did it again, 91 WPM, 100%

user_312964 = me

92 wpm with some mistakes.

edit: Tried a few more times, 93 is my highest.

Note that this isn't an accurate measure of typing speed, my actual speed is 90-100 wpm.

EDIT: Did it again on the leaderboard, username Calder27, WPM 125.

51 WPM.

62, one wrong word. screwed up when my colleagues asked me what I was doing lol. I'm also on a natural keyboard which stops my wrist hurting but makes my typing worse lol.

Sentences are much easier to type than a series of random words.

EDIT: Tried again: 74 wpm, 4 wrong words. I couldn't get much faster I don't think unless typing in sentences. (Much to used to typing code nowadays).

I type with all the fingers of my left hand but only the index finger of my right hand, caused by learning to type fully with my left hand while still controlling the mouse in games.

Using your third hand again.

Arcane · 23 Apr 2013 at 14:00

21, 3 mistakes.

WPM tests generally consider every 5 characters to be a word, so you aren't advantaged/disadvantaged by having more short/long words.

74, sounds respectable!
