Ooh, this is cool. “Finger Frenzy: How fast can you type the alphabet?”
Pretty darn fast, if I do say so myself.
Why, in my prime, I was the queen of the secretarial pool at 110 wpm. So let me give this sucker a try.
Heh! All you so-called geek types think you’re fast? I cut my typing teeth on a Smith-Corona manual. Observe how I blow you out of the water!
Hmmm. Maybe I could do a little better, after all, that was my first time.
Not bad, not bad. Still… breathe deep… relax the fingers… and GO!
That’s what I’m talking ABOUT!
Now I think I’ll just file my high scores where all the baby geeks may read them and weep!
Wha—? Wait a minute! The top 15 scores are…
Move over, you baby geeks. Make room for the old lady about to pass out over your keyboards.

8.8…
terrible, just terrible!!!
If it makes you feel any better, my first attempt yielded a sorry-ass 11.082. Second pass, I improved to a 7.063, but I think that’s about as good as it’ll get for me.
I bet ol’ Minus up there is a text-loving teenager.
HOW does one to it in about 1 second? I type with 4-6 fingers, so I’m not even going to try. But I’ll woot for you, Bonnie. Woot!
I couldn’t find the game (then # 3 yanked # 4 off the sofa and well, I got distracted – he’s okay – just mad)
I don’t think I could even type my name in one second and here are only eight letters.
Okay, guys, I fixed the link. It should take you directly to the game now, rather than through that maze I had before! (Sorry, Dennie!)
You guys should read the comments about this game at Digg:
Ack! No.. must stay away since most of my keyboard no longer has letters on it. 😉
I used to be a fast typist and then…kids happened.
10-key was my fastest speciality back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Thanks for the time sink I successfully dodged. 😉
Took me a while, but I got it down to 6.64274.
I’m a 90 wpm typer. typing the alphabet is different from just typing. It required a lot of concentration.
Ack! 7.3 🙁
9.425 – YEAH! I’m smokin’! Er, or not. 🙂
I’ve lived too much in the generation that spells things: yo wuz up nuthn u? gr8. I blame the internet. 🙂
ow! ow! OW! CRAMP!! My first score was 7.something. It all went downhill from there. Of course, Spawn showed up and was chattering away to her sire, so I was very distracted. You know, it’s really hard to eavesdrop and type the alphabet at the same time.
By the way, Bonnie, may I put a link to you on my blog?
I got 4. something. 🙂 I got your wpm beat by 10, too! ::Preens::
I suck. I don’t use the correct fingers to type, though I type pretty fast. I think I looked too much to do well.
I’m claiming that old chainsaw injury prevents me from even taking a whack at it. Bonnie, I’m sure you would be in those high scores if that damn blender hadn’t tried to eat your finger.
Ms. Karen is so polite to ask permission to link you to her blog. I’m so rude. I just did it.
okay… I’m NOT going to tell my score!
Alphabet?
I have to mumple over the sequence of “mnop” every time….to remind myself which comes first…
I think I’m going to award Feith the “Fastest Fingered Reader of My Blog” award. How can you get 4 point something? You are amazing!
The rest of you… WE’RE GETTING OLD.
Bernita, what gets me is the part after “QRST”.
C’mon, Lady Rock and Erika, SPILL. Tell us your scores!
Lesia and Ms. Karen, I just add people without asking, too. I’m always up for joining somebody’s blogroll, so add away! You’re in mine, now. And thank you!
Honey, it’s always good to have somebody score worse than you do! So thanks! 😉
Yeah, Michelle, what’s happening to us? We used to be FAST.
Maybe Kristen is right: kids are what happened to us.
I don’t know, M.G., because after this test I even found typing “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog” difficult. I used to just whip that sentence out.
fun game to play i got down to 4.67 seconds how goods that!! you have got 2 play it
