gah - too early
Arr, once it sped up a bit, I had trouble minimizing error-typing, as I'd write out the whole word wrong if I get the first letter wrong.

Damn, Mordy! I was feeling good because I broke the 2000 point barrier earlier today, but that blows it out of the water!

Well, new record for me (2130), but I still have a ways to go. Mordy, how did you overcome the blurry word problem? Every time I lose it's on a word I don't know anyway (in the above picture, it was dichromate).

some of the words are made up or badly inputted - cosolidate?
― ledge, Wednesday, 18 March 2009 23:36 (fifteen years ago) link
I wonder if the "cosolidate" thing is part of the test, though. You can't always rely on either knowing all the words, or on spelling knowledge. You have to be paying attention and typing exactly what's on the screen. There's also a mix of US spelling and Britishes spelling.

Mordy, how did you overcome the blurry word problem?
It's a problem. That's how I keep losing. I didn't know that last word, and it was really long, and it was too blurry to punch out. But generally, my typos increase near the end as I try to approximate the spelling I can see. So I might hit 'n' and 'm' for the same letter.
