5.38s. Kinda dumb test, since I ended up doing much better just doing "hunt and peck" than regular typing style for this, that is despite getting ~85wpm normally.

ditto,

4.62seconds after a couple of attempts, think it helps being on a laptop.

I thought there was no way I'd be able to do it quickly but I didn't even look at the keyboard and got 4.94 on the first time around. Don't feel like doing it again.

Damn I really suck at typing the alphabet.

I've never attempted to do it before, it as so unnatural. And aside from the fact that I've never done that combination of finger strokes before. The only reason that I type fast is half muscle memory from what to type for certain words. I don't think about the letters. Give me this **** and I gotta think and then think were the letter is. ****.

2.91... My friend and I optimized how we type the alphabet based on this game. We developed a little thing we like to call the "Jay Kay El slide."
