What are the best tips for winning at TypeSprint?

What is TypeSprint?
Typing speed is usually measured in words per minute, where one "word" is counted as five characters. That convention makes results comparable between tests, and it is exactly how TypeSprint calculates your score: the characters in the paragraph divided by five, divided by the minutes you took. Accuracy is measured separately, as the share of characters typed correctly, because speed without accuracy is not much use — in real writing every mistake costs the time it takes to go back and fix it. TypeSprint uses real paragraphs rather than random word lists, at three levels: short, familiar sentences on Easy, ordinary prose on Medium and denser text on Hard. The timer starts on your first keystroke, each character is marked right or wrong as you type, and your best speed is saved in your browser so you always have a personal record to beat. Every run ends with a grade: S for 80 words per minute or more, A from 60, B from 40, C from 25 and D below that.
