ThirdParty decided to be sneaky and replace all the o's with greek omicrons, which are a different unicode character and won't be accepted as a replacement for o.
I find it interesting that people go in order. I skipped the second one between it seemed long, and jumped around to get the short ones. I got 7 of them--not bad, I guess.
This is really tough for me...I am a two-fingered typist and I have to literally read every word and then watch the keyboard to type. As it is, I barely completed three of the sentences, but it is hard using my "system".
yea, for me it is not the typing, but the reading of the sentences. I read the sentences, start typing, forgot what the sentence was, and basicly have to look up ( and find the correct sentence and where I was in that sentence) every couple of words. Sometimes every word.
If I knew the sentences, it would be a world of difference (and I think after like 20 times you would.) I have heard about the fox one, but do not know it exactly, same goes for; something with chickens and a basket and pudding and proof. So even though those ring a bell, I will still need to look up for almost every word ( I do know that "the" comes after "in" for example with the pudding sentence..)
Got 6 on the 3rd try though, the first round was extremely clumsy with a lot of mistakes. Man instead of miles, histroy instead of history, and only got 4 that time.
Took me three times to get it. That's always been my problem with typing. If I don't make any mistakes I'm well over 100 but if I screw up then sometimes I'm more like 80 or 90.
In real life I would just type it all out and go back and fix the couple words I got wrong but typing tests don't work like that, of course.
Well it would be a lot better if the words were counted separately, if you make just one mistake in a whole sentence you lose like 10 seconds to correct it and the whole quiz becomes impossible
It would be fairer if you were really judging your typing speed. But it would be a different quiz from this one. Spelling and typing the right sentence is part of the exercise in this case.

I have taken this DOZENS of times by now. 100% of the time, I have gotten all the way through the 50WPM mark. 83% of the time, I have gotten through the 60WPM mark. 33% of the time, I have gotten all the way through the 70WMP mark. BUT NOT ONCE have I gotten all the way through the 80% mark. ARGH!!! That is really irritating me.
I went to a temp agency once and did a sign-on there and tested 80WPM over 2 (not just 1, but 2) minutes with zero errors. My touch was better then, as was my focus and ability to sense when I had made an error and go back and correct it. Despite being on a computer that facilitates faster keystrokes on the keyboard, I just can't seem to be *quite* the whiz I was when I was in my 20s/30s. Perhaps if I took some Chamomile tea or something to put me "in the right state" and also had the laptop on a stable surface (such as a desk), rather than on my lap or on a book on my lap, I could hit the 80WPM mark?
I don't think it's a good idea to put sentences which try to use as many letters as possible because they aren't realistic. If you wanna do a quiz that tests pure typing wpm then that's fine, but otherwise it's not really fitting
Try this
Young twister typing test or TTTT

Im good though, dont feel the urge to try more.
Dont type the spaces, it will still accept!

If that appears mysterious, go read that excerpt from Annie Dillard's memoirs found at https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2340.
I'd love to see this added to this quiz. But failing that I hope someone adopts it as their motto.
