Wow. Great game or greatest game?

Probably the greatest casual game ever...

(93 wpm, by the way :D )

OMG. This. is. AWESOME.

Hmm, it's fun, but most of those people suck. I averaged 60WPM, and won most of my races.

Though "Computer Script" slaughtered me with 1500WPM.

Fun!

(56 WPM)

:|
wish i had a funtional keyboard T_T

Wow. A lot of fun.

I guess it's unfair that my job requires me to be a super fast typer.

Love typing games. Also playing.

95wpm on a laptop was only good enough for 4th place! lots of ringers out there

wait... how is the guy typing 46wpm AHEAD of the one typing @ 52wpm? (green car above blue car)

Fun fun fun!

See kids! Proper typing does pay off.

Ha 26 wpm not bad for a guy that never learned to type and only uses 4 fingers.

If my spacebar on my keyboard wasn't total crap I could do much better. 63 wpm so far.

my top was 31 wpm, which is terrible(although i type one-handed for some reason)

It's a fun game. I have such a strange typing style. My left hand types correctly and extremely fast, but I only use my right index finger for the area that should be covered by the entire left hand. I wish I could learn to use it correctly but when I try, my typing speed goes down from around 85 to around 25-30.

I'm at 104 wpm. What's slowing me down is that this program forces you to put one space between sentences, instead of the customary two spaces. I had to slow myself down at the sentence breaks so I don't hit space bar twice. It sucked.

32 wpm average, but I've been typing with one finger all my life, so that's fairly speedy, I think.

wont load... must be overloaded or something.

That's great, like Mavis Beacon deathmatch! 85-ish here, but that's on my work keyboard... I can't wait to try at home.

@SwapMeet: Eep, your one of those guys that just humbles me whenever I try one of these games. Also, I dunno, but MLA format says 1 space after each sentence, dunno about APA though.

It's pretty addictive. I can't say I love the way the words move off the screen. For some reason it throws me off a bit (65 wpm, btw).

101 just now, lost out to someone who did 102... was close the whole race but i made 2 errors =/

@SwapMeet:

You know what slows me down? If I just type in the firefox window, it searches for the word on the page. So if I start typing a split second before "Go," then I can't race because it highlights the letter I typed and I'm not longer in the type box.

But I don't even know how to turn that feature off.

That is a lot of fun, I am out of practice :-|

Wow, this is sweet.. Though the punctuation is hard as hell in some of them when typing with a laptop keyboard.

My average is 66WPM, i'd be interested to see what it's like while using my G15 keyboard.

119!!! ^__^

(don't worry - i'm a professional transcriber)

Ridiculously good typing practice. Except I can't seem to excel past 60wpm. Must upgrade from bug to a Porsche.

Nice. Even for "us" non-english speakers (48wpm :(). BUT... how can somebody have a score of 150+wpm?! Do they have, like, fourty fingers?

Opening lines of A Clockwork Orange and I still got second? The bratchny veck.

Ha! I was just playing Typing of the Dead this afternoon! It made me spell "lube" and "boner" all in the same boss fight. I felt like I had been taken advantage of.

83 MPH....woooooo!
That is hard for someone like me who relies a lot on spell check.

Yes that is pretty addictive. I hate the way it scrolls the words though, keeps messing me up lol.

@Soulgenesis: It is entirely possible to be driving at 100 miles per hour, and still be behind someone going at 50. You just have to be a little bit late off the starting point.

@karasu is my homeboy: ctrl+f ?

Man I suck, 35wpm, but maybe i can get some practice this way.

@JimElNino:

Second.

@digitalmorphine: Wouldn't be surprised if there's chicanery afoot.

It's clear that it's a beta. I can't get past 1 race without the whole thing crashing on me.

@ChunkOFunk: I learned to type relatively young (8 or 9), and I started on typewriters and Wordperfect. Two spaces was just accepted and was the norm back then. I'm not sure what they're teaching in typing classes now. I get the whole argument for fixed width vs. variable width font sizes. Maybe one day I'll switch to one space. Heck, I can use this game to force me to switch.

@SwapMeet: Same here. It's bugging the hell out of me, they should have an option for that. Oh well, beta.

@karasu is my homeboy: Firefox.

Tools>Options>Advanced>

uncheck "Search for text when I start typing"

Hah, this game rocks. Averaging over 100wpm here.

@Soulgenesis: omg thanks... I don't know how that got enabled but I hated it.

Now I don't have to be so fearful in Typeracer. Watch out all.

Some dude just pegged at 299 WPM. He has to be cheating somehow. Human's can't type that fast.

Wow! I just found a new crack. Now if my spelling was a little better I'd be finishing a lot higher.

Race Me: Sauce!

Hahaha that was fun, wish they had that when I was in computer class. We used to race

damn, i thought i had ill and fast fingers on the keys...

but when i played i came in at 29wpm...

Nailed 132wpm and one of the top slots on my first attempt. Now I'm slowing down -_-;;

@digitalmorphine: it depends, really. Back in my typing prime I was topping out at around 145 words per minute on a QWERTY. It was fun to pull out for transcription purposes around the office, because nobody ever expected it.

Nowadays it's far slower (a measly 105) but it depends on what I'm doing. I blame a lot of stream-of-consciousness writing and transcribing stuff on keyboards for the past 17 years.

Damn , only 40 :( Good program though, I guarantee typing classes are going to use this.

I only really type with my right middle finger, and my left index and thumb, so i guess my 36 wpm isnt so bad.

wiked game tho

I just won 1st on a Star Wars quote. Come on nerds. I should not have won that with 66wpm.

It reminds me of when I played Typing of the Dead and they started giving me really random words that I don't type on a regular basis. Once that happened, I saw the word I was supposed to be typing, then my finger-memory started typing what it thought I wanted to type (a more common word) and then I screwed up. That or, like in Typing of the Dead, they give you something really random with punctuation, like "blowin'" as opposed to "blowing".

It's just a tiny bit irritating. Beyond that, I'd be happier if there was a little more incentive to actually typing these sentences. Typing of the Dead made it fun to kill zombies and stay alive! The competition aspect of this is not as appealing to me.

This is almost certainly the most addictive thing in the world ever. Currently in the high 90s, if anyone sees Juantan that's me!

Oh, come on, what the hell? A Clockwork Orange!? I don't know what a rassadoock is! These bastards screwed me, man.

...And people say educational games aren't fun. :)
