How well do you type?

I don't usually do the online game stuff, but this one was interesting.

Heads up: it's very annoying how it scrolls through the words but you'll pick it up. I got 67 wpm and to be honest was pretty happy. Keep in mind, this does not allow errors. you must back up and fix them or i'm sure everyone's score would be much higher.

Oh dear. 22wpm here!

I tried it a few times, my first one was 67, and after 2 more rounds, I was up to 90

I can't make it work. Last time I timed myself, though, I was at about 70 wpm.

I haven't tried that game but John recently took a typing course and it had a similar program that I practiced on. I was up to about 95 wpm as my highest.

Hey, my boyfriend just told me about this game several days ago, and so I started playing, and it was fun! It said my average was only like 46 wpm, but I won a few games and it said it was something like, 65 wpm in those games.

33wpm Oh the shame!

I'd be much faster if Molly would stop head-butting me & walking across the keyboard!

...70 wpm...

47 words per minute, lol. Oh well, I didn't get to finish typing class in highschool, so I'm impressed . Oh wait, now I'm up to 55 .

Me neither. It says "wait for the green light" and then sits there doing nothing.

I used to type at about 120 wpm, and the last time I took a test it was 70 something. Not sure what it is now. Probably pretty close to that, maybe even a bit better because I type quite a bit.

(words/minute) Accuracy: 94% Gross Speed: 51 WPM
(words/minute)might get a different score w/a different selection, tho.

see, i tried again, different selection, & got this result: Net Speed: 57 WPM
(words/minute) Accuracy: 100% Gross Speed: 57 WPM
(words/minute)

I got 70wpm the first time and 80wpm the second time.

I thought I was a pretty quick typer, but I'm only 50 words a minute!

163 wpm I think I got lucky on that one.
