Well, you can, but you wouldn't want to because you'll end up looking sloppy and incompetent. When you make an error on an essay or an email to a customer or to your boss, you can't just ignore it and move on. It's also how typing works in real life, at school, college and at work. If you want to be truly fast under these settings, then you also need to be highly accurate, which is a good thing. That's a good thing because your true typing speed is the speed that takes into account the time it takes you to correct your errors. Websites like and and all force you to correct your errors. Instead, you can just ignore it, hit the spacebar and keep going. If you make an error on a word, you don't need to stop, backspace and then correct it. The second reason that you may well struggle, is because 10fastfingers doesn't force you to correct your errors. That's all it took for me to feel really comfortable with typing it, rather than feeling like a fish out of water, making errors all the time. Typing twice each day would be a total of 120 repetitions. Within the space of just two months of doing this I could type faster than many other things that I was already very well versed at typing. Instead of using bookmarks to get to I forced myself to type that URL in the address bar of my browser everytime I wanted to go to that website.
I never used to be able to type the word youtube. You would have expanded your typing vocabulary by 10 words only 10 minutes of typing. But if you repeated those 10 words, in that order, just 10 times a day, which would take you only a few minutes at most, within a week, all of those 10 words would be words that you were much more comfortable with typing. Not impossible, but by no means as fluid as the 302 words that you're very familiar with. Try typing these words now.Ĭassette stop specify incorporated private author blessing required abilities recognized Instead of being able to type the word quickly and fluidly, almost automatically without any real thought, you have to struggle through it, typing letter-by-letter. That means that because you have typed compatibility so few times during typing tests, when you do come across it, and other unfamiliar words that you have less experience with, either in real life or in tests, your brain won't have that exact sequence of finger movements stored its "muscle memory". It's not featured in the 302 words that you're used to practicing on 10fastfingers, therefore I would say that it falls outside of your typing vocabulary, as do many of the other words that I have typed in the last few sentences. The word compatibility is a 13 letter word and it's nowhere near as common. It's easy to read, easy to recognise at a glance, and easy to type. The fact it's a very common word is helped massively by the fact it's also a very short word at only 3 letters long. You'll get very fast, very accurate and very proficient at it very quickly. The word the is the most common word in the English language, so you're going to end up typing it many thousands of times in the space of just a month.
Remember that your typing speed for each word is related to the number of times you have typed that word without error in your entire life. I could have included being, something and thing and I could also add some, sometimes and something into the mix as well. That's a good thing that you're learning 25 words really quickly, but a bad thing that you're only learning 7 letter sequences because really, when we learn to type, learning as many letter sequences as possible is what we're after.
That's 25 words covered off by learning just 7 letter sequences. Then you also have to factor in that there are many words that are essentially the same because they are built on the same combination or sequence of letters: That will seem like an enormous number of words when you first start out at 10 wpm, but by the time you get to where you are now at just 60 wpm, you will have completed several hundred tests on that selection of 302 words, and you'll be faster than you were, so you'll be able to cycle through more words per 60 second test, which, over time, means that you'll perform more and more repetitions of each of those words in every test. There are two main reasons that you struggle outside of 10fastfingers.įirst, 10fastfingers default test is a selection of 302 words.
