Eat Your Heart Out, Mavis Beacon

Well, I got to level 11 before this nifty typing game crapped out on me, but I was definitely hitting my limits. Kinda gives you insight into how you type. For instance, my problem was not hitting the keys themselves, but reading the word and then spelling it. If I knew intuitively how to spell the word, I went a lot faster than if I was just making the letters disappear.

See! All those years of typing on chat rooms & AIM paid off after all!

Technically, to reach the true height of touch-typing skill, you have to be able to hit the letters without reading the word at all... you just see a sequence of letters and/or numbers, and reflexively hit the right keys. They give "nonsense drills" in typing classes with no readable words on them, just series of letters arranged in wordlike formation, to make typists learn to do this.

Level 13 and she wasn't even trying hard. She got to level 11 before she even lost one life. If the computer hadn't started opening windows who knows where she would have gotten. (Jtj)
