Hey Typeracers,
As most of you know, the TypeRacer home page sports a “high scores” board to honor the fastest typists of the hour, as well as the top-100 in terms of overall average speed, races completed, and recent average, but there’s no comprehensive scoreboard to showcase the “overall” TypeRacer MVPs (herein referred to as “Most Valuable Racers”, or MVR). As an experiment, we defined the following formula to award points for both dedication and raw typing speed: TypeRacer MVR Points = Typing_Speed x Words_Typed.
We crunched the data from the past 2 years; the full list is below, and we’d like to offer a special “congratulations” to lucean, WordRacer888, tesla_diesel, jessegarcia, pentalon, shoaib_shahnawaz, maximumchris2, kevinski1, and mokori! These folks are the best overall typists from the past 2 years!
We also calculated points for each country. Looking at the top-3, we have —
- US – 520 million points
- India – 80 million points
- Canada – 78 million points
followed by other large, English-speaking countries (UK, Australia, Philippines). Indonesia, Sweden, Japan, and Germany also made it into the top-10, earning high point scores, and being the leaders among non-English speaking countries.
Looking at pure speed, a few unexpected candidates came up as the “fastest countries”: Vatican City at 86wpm, North Korea at 85wpm, and Antarctica (82wpm). (Wait, what?) A small number of folks who set (probably) fake countries such as Antarctica skewed this data. We’ve made manual updates to a few of the countries to show the countries different racers really represent.
Is this data valuable or interesting? Any thoughts or suggestions? Should we add a new “overall typists” scoreboard to TypeRacer? Should the lists be longer than 100, or maybe it should be calculated and published at the end of each month? Let us know in the comments, and see you on the track!
Good luck,
David Pritts (VP of Operations, username: valikor) and Alex Epshteyn (Founder/CEO/CTO, username: typeracer)
