Actually NOT!
There is no way you can go very fast if you tap
strongly on the screen. If you look at the videos of past winners, the most striking aspect is that they seem to be hardly touching the screen. Look at Faith Perez, for example, as she seems to be dancing lightly over the on-screen keyboard and hardly ever pausing:

On the results so far, I am very impressed to see these five results at more than 70 wpm so early in the competition and I am confident that we will see 80 broken more than one time: actually, Jenneth is already very close!
This does not mean you should not enter the contest now. Michael Steinberg, who monitors the contest, has just announced that weekly prizes are assigned in priority to new entrants, with the remainder going to winners of earlier weeks who improve their score. So, any new entrant can win a weekly prize without being (yet) a speed demon.
We'd like to see also more handwriting entries. It's about time someone should break Mark Tan's record of 48.54 s, 49.44 wpm, achieved in June 2000 with Graffiti. You would think that with better techniques such as Calligrapher this should be possible now.
