I just got 107 which is actually poor for me. Did you get asked to take a cheat test when you got over 100 ?

I was curious and looked at the top scores and they are over 300wpm. So I checked and the world record for typing over one minute is 216wpm so I leave you to guess what has happened with the top scores in the past.

Yeah it asks you to do the anti-cheat test over 100wpm and it's from a non-text image so there can't be cheating xD

I think I got asked again at 125.

32WPM

In your face!!!

biuro74 · 5 Feb 2015 at 11:28

120 WPM means 2 words per second.
Accomplished, self-righteousness.. no way to type it i 1 sec. Not with my Sidewinder X6 keybo. Competition should prize WORST typers just to give them better keyboard ;-)

I did a practice and got 60-odd WPM...I then did a few other practices and was in the 50's and 40's.....beginners luck I think

los · 5 Feb 2015 at 11:54

Only way I would stand a chance would be if yours were 10+ letter words and mine were 1 or 2 lol.
Although surely anyone that can type faster than you would have a decent keyboard already?

valkia · 5 Feb 2015 at 12:10

Some words can be pretty tricky and can slow down WPM pretty heavily, there may be cases which I get stuck on

I'm going to be training tonight

dacads · 5 Feb 2015 at 14:18

You'll need it hauahau

I haven't done one in ages but I remember I am at least 100WPM

savagesam117 · 5 Feb 2015 at 14:38

I managed 42, them words! Normal sentences i am pretty quick but to read it, my brain to register it and then typing it.. I'm not that good.

BluD · 5 Feb 2015 at 14:44

i type with a bout 2 fingers, is it worth me entering?

dacads · 5 Feb 2015 at 15:05

Just had some go's was getting around 90 then 110-115 now just hit 130

Also how many races will there be just the one? Maybe it will be fairer overall if there's 3 races for example, as the quotes can be hit or miss some will be easy as pips while others will have lots of punctuation which slow you down.

Give it a go, you have nothing to lose!

Kill_Phil · 5 Feb 2015 at 16:57

94 on first attempt

Used to type live statements over the phone, but seem to be a tad rusty and have slowed down a great deal!

valkia · 5 Feb 2015 at 17:36

I might do practice runs tomorrow in the evening on www.twitch.tv/valkia

rentaspoon · 5 Feb 2015 at 17:49

Yep so that's my chances gone then

Thekwango · 5 Feb 2015 at 17:58

Might have a practice run but valkia could type with his elbows and nose and still beat me. Will still tune in either way as it'll be a good laugh.

Smrtka · 5 Feb 2015 at 22:32

I don't even speak English... Damn

Ashiaa · 6 Feb 2015 at 14:20

I need a new Keyboard!

Marine-RX179 · 6 Feb 2015 at 14:56

lol this thread got my imagination going.

I imagined at a venue, some random guy walk into an unknown event and saw everyone one, men of all shape and size with serious-prep-for-war face, pounding their fist into their plam and roaring, and he caught one of the guys and asked what's going on here, and the guy respond to him-

"We are here for the race...hell yeah!! TYPE-RACE!!."

lol
