I got around 884,000… could have gotten higher, but my eyes are bugging out. I hate cats.

It’s fun, but a bad test of actual typing speed. You have to take a few nanoseconds on each word and dechipher what you’re seeing, and then type – that introduces a pause that destroys my “flow”… ;)

Typing tests where you get to view the entire text you’re typing, uninterrupted, clear and without flashy effects, are much more accurate on determining your actual typing speed. You can read ahead, and the words have a context which helps.
