you may end up with sore wrists.
I thought this was about typing with your fingers, not your wrists?
Update: I am now typing out the alphabet 2.222 seconds. Very easy now I've practised.
]]>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUWXYZ
1.7 seconds.
'tis better if you use the game provided.
]]>1.7 seconds.
]]>I can type it all out:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Did that in twenty seconds.
Great.
Now try beating my record of 1.8 seconds.
]]>abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Did that in twenty seconds.
]]>you may end up with sore wrists.
And RSI!
Update. Roughly 2.1-ish in the backwards alphabet game.
You have too much spare time ... !
]]>My friend, who is an internet legend, claimed to get 0.999, but the server conveniently was "having trouble," as you guys mentioned sometimes happened, and thus his score wasn't recorded. I've seen him type many times and he is insanely fast, but the alphabet in one second seems pretty extraordinary.
]]>Why was the QWERTY keyboard intentionally designed to be inefficient?
I am not able to get under 3 seconds, but pretty close. My problem is that I am one of those two-finger typers. Yes, I refuse to learn how to "really" type.
An efficient design would have the "e" at either the current j or f position. The home keys should be where the most often used letters are located.
There are other layouts available that are designed more efficiently.
Early typewriter would jam if keys were pressed too quickly in succession, hence the need to slow down typists. This is not an issue with computers, but the same inefficient key layout still prevails.
]]>We can all type the alphabet quickly with ease.
But can we do it backwards?

I got 2.915 in this game; Easy when you can say the alphabet backwards beforehand.

Also, is it actually possible to get a time like 1.001 seconds? There are several people here who say they have such a time, but it seems quite improbable.
