The most problematic words for me in the ordinary typing test are "Indian", "different", and suprisingly "eye". "Picture" trips me up sometimes because of the travel from C to T - though this could easily be resolved by a fingering adjustment.

Whenever I see the words "sentence" or "company" coming up I automatically slow down because I know that I'm likely to miss type a letter or two unless I take special care. On the other hand, I like letter combinations like "tion"," wer" or "ou".
It fun typing "tion" and think of all the words with that ending and "wer" is another good combination just put finger 4 on the 'w' and roll into the "er", and g followed by h are just 2 finger on opposite hand racing to meet in the middle (careful that h doesn't arrive before g).
Another good combination is 't' followed by 'h' or "ou", "ther" all favorites. I know that it might sound corny, but I really enjoy the process of typing.

I can't stand "different" and "follow". I can type words like "another" and "sometimes" really fast, on the other hand.

I think with words like "follow", it's just the fact that I'm moving my fourth finger up and down, and that's not a very natural movement for me.

Mine is "you". I often type y-u-o at first.

Es a nonnative English speaker. My least favorite word would be "psychological" and any word that starts with similar letters.

I forgot to mention words that contain more then one "F" letter, because that letter is placed upper left corner on my keyboard which correspond the letter of "Q" in QWERTY keyboard layout. For that reason, you get slower while typing with your little finger of your left hand.

Are you using your left pinkie to hit both the A and F keys? Use your pinkie to hit the A key and use your second finger to hit the F key, which is natural.
