How fast can you type the alphabet? Would you like to know? I wonder who is the fastest and slowest! I did it 3 times and got down to 10.817. I don't think that is very good, but maybe it is? Let me know if you did better, Or maybe worse, go ahead, we won't laugh, well not too hard anyway! http://www.offthewrist.com/index.jsp?id=ff

Hi tammy. I got 16.875. Is that a good score? LOL. I enjoyed it tremendously. I even bookmarked it so my girls can play and test their typing skills too. Thanks for sharing it. I love it.

This will be good for the kids. And I will not say if 16.875 is good or bad, but try it again to see if it makes a difference. I will be practicing from time to time as I have it bookmarked also. I have a game that is great fun for most ages and very addictive. The best part is as long as your browsers is still open, you do not have to be on line. But do be careful, it is addictive! http://www.shockwave.com/content/shuffle/sis/shuffle.swf Tell the girls to have fun!!

I play it while I am on the phone. I love that I don't have to be on-line as I have dial-up. I am glad they like it. I am so into it I have had it open for 3 days!!LOL

Ok, that was not fair. You said nothing about typing the alphabet BACKWARDS. I am not even going to tell you what my score was cause it was awful. I just can not believe you tricked me. Maybe I will try it again tomorrow.

Thanks for not laughing LOL I visit wahm.com (been a member for a few years now) and a while ago everyone was looking for ways to improve their typing skills (a lot of people were trying to get into transcription jobs, etc). Here is a link to a really cool game: http://www.popcap.com/games/free/typershark I think you can still play for free. It looks like they only charge you if you download it. This was all the rage then! :-)

Now I said no laughing and I guess I will share why; My first score was 12.109, so how could I laugh at you!? I have a program to teach you to type, but it is boring to do. This site was fun, and I need to practice there more so I can make more money on here!!

Well I have never tried this before, also I am a one finger typer so I know I am not fast at any kind of typing. I did take typing in school buy for some reason kind of forgot about it because I never used it much.

you would have real troubles with my keyboard... most of my keys have the letters worn right off of them! I do not want to go out and buy a new keyboard as this one works just fine and is wireless and I really like its features etc. but it is making it difficult to teach the youngins keyboarding.

Maybe a thin permanent marker to re-write them?

Actually, you need not look at the screen to type in when the new letter is show off. I get 5.8 secs. Just by typing in the alphabet continuously.

That was fun, I did it in 8.10 seconds. I will have to practice and see if I can go faster. I will also have to check out other stuff on the site, it does look intersting.

I wish you wouldn't put websites like this on here, i always end up spending hours trying to improve my time. Got it down to 5.844 seconds but i'm gonna have to keep going till i get below 5 seconds (Damn obsessive compulsive disorder) well i got a busy night ahead of me so goodnight
13 Jun 07
Tammyr i hate you!!!!!!! OK a little over the top, but do you have any idea how long it took me to get under 5 seconds? AN ENTIRE DAY THATS HOW LONG!!!!!!! if you ever put suich a webpage on here again i will hunt you down and block your computer from accessing all websites except mylot! right now all i have to do is find two more words with i in them and i can go to bed (ahh crap that was 3!) now i'm gonna be up all night 4.977 seconds by the way (the top of the leaderboard is 1.001 seconds, but that must be impossible to do)

Never tried this before. I don't know how well I will do. Hubby would freak if he saw me doing this one. LOL. He has been bugging me to get off the pc for about an hour now. I haven't been on all week. He has been on every night. As I also hate timed tests, I will have to pass on this one. But, you know, I will probably go back at some point and time and give it a try just because I want to do it even though I loathe it. LOL.

Well hubby should be fair and give you more time on-line. I hope you try it. I hate timers, but I was interested how I would do. I get lost at the end with v-w-x-y-z. If I used them more or practiced more I could get it down! I know I could!

I did it in 7.835 (double handed) I used to play those old games on windows x. (a balloon which had to stay up by typing keys and numbers) I'm happy but without sounding big headed I think I could do better. ~Joey

Hey that was fun, thanks! I got 8.31 but that was not my first score. my first score was 11 something. I found the noise distracting. I did much better (as you can see) after I turned off the sound, and also by not looking at the board. I submitted my score as "Modestah from Mylot"

I leave my monitor on mute so I did not even know it has sound! You did very well, and i find it hard to believe that a person could do it that fast! Can you imagine, they could type up the conversations of three people and not skip a word!!

I just played again and got 7.6 something - but I still would have ranked in the 6000's if it was submitted. I checked the lowest rankings and numerous people scored at 1.001 seconds. HOW?!?! did they use a cheat program or what? 26 letters in a second? unbelievable.
