A few people cheated with macros to get <1 sec scores :rolleyes: I slow down at Q though. I could shave a half a second off if I could work out…

A macro, as in a series of commands. In this case, all the letters of the alphabet done with a program instead of by hand. I've got down to 3.5 seconds now (not cheating)

OK so a few of you have started testing how fast you can type the alphabet as normal in the other thread..

But why not give this ago: Type the alphabet backwards as fast as you can without cheating :P

I didnt attempt it mind you.

Anyway, give it a go::

Merged. I suck at the backwards one because I have the pattern down forwards

Ok, here's a tip.

A,B. Roll cde, roll fgh, i, roll jkl, roll mn, roll op. Use index of left to press Q, index of right to press r, left index to press s. Shift over to T and to a similar shape. The W X Y Z are difficult to get fast ;/

If you do it for about 10 mins you get used to the pattern and your score comes wayyy down.

A perfect seven seconds. After only two tries.

And another nine.

About thirteen more.

... The point is; I got seven seconds.

2.7 seconds forward [2nd try, forgot to save high score though]

4.9 seconds backwards

An amazingly simple but effective way for me to waste 20 mins of my time!

The more I try, the worse I get so I'll need to wait until tomorrow to give it another shot..
