 | Arthur P tap tap tap |
 | Richard Barnett If nothing else, practice games have given me my first ever sub 1 second conundrum :D |
 | Ben S As far as I can tell the only tactic that can possibly work is to immediately type a letter as soon as the selection appears and hope it's the right one. |
 | Benj Cooke I was thinking that, but then wondering how the hell Thomas and Adam got 70 and 90 doing that? |
 | Tom Cappleman By actually being good :P |
| Ben S Witchcraft |
 | Adam Latchford it sounds like im taking the piss but i'm disappointed with 90, i've lost a 0.2 after turning 30 and it pisses me off when i have to do these. Also yes my diamond shoes are too tight and my caviar is too tasty |
| Benj Cooke You're not only good - you also have amazing letter finding speed on your keyboard. Or you have 26 fingers. |
| Adam Latchford but for an actually helpful tip, i hover my hands over the letters r u n s c o p a and then i can move freely enough around the others to hit what i need to hit. not foolproof but helpful |
| Benj Cooke A bit like touch typing, I guess. |
| Richard Barnett Best I could manage was to type the first letter of the scramble within 0.5 secs. First letter seems to be the correct one more than one ninth of the time, so good for the occasional solve |
 | David Holmes Most of the time Rex had already buzzed in before my phone even bothered to flash up the keyboard for me to use. A rather silly and annoying way to bow out of what has been a fun tourney.
|
| Colin Thompson Overall tournament score is keeping you in David |
| David Holmes Wow |
 | Dave Kempshall https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15PFXM_S-O2R9QqmhI1YLLWcobTjXfTxSIrS2t7u8O0E/edit?gid=1617686940#gid=1617686940 |
| Sean D anyone scoring more than zero should be tried for witchcraft |
| Benj Cooke Hopefully, it says nothing about me that the only one I got was PERVINESS |

| Adam Latchford getting that in round 19 when you were facing elimination is absolute clutch behavior tbf, top perviness'ing |
 | Steve Aucello ooooof so this is how those of us just hanging on get weeded out! |
 | Tom B How does A-Rex even reach the keyboard with his diddly arms? |
 | Richard Decker How did anyone score points in this?? I couldn't even read the letters before Rex buzzed... |
| Steve Aucello i kept my fingers on STRNL and if i saw one of those letters come up I pressed it and hoped for the best |
