Keyboard Racing - Yes or no?
Lately, I've thought of an interesting concept for a game, that I don't think has been used yet. It's a racing game, but not how you are probably thinking about it.
You race the timer, trying to type a word as fast as you can, and beat the specific goal time to move on to the next level.
The farther you go into the game, the longer the words will get. For example, level 1 currently has 3 letter words like cat and car, but in future levels, they might have words like hieroglyphics and hypothesis (not guaranteed, but you get the point.)
What do you guys think? Should I make it, or not?
Also, if you think this is a good idea, you could help me add more words into what I call level dictionaries.
Level 1 is obviously easy, and contains 3 letter words.
I want as many as I can add, because I want some sort of challenge added to the game, and I don't want people to expect certain words, because the more I have, there's less of a chance of the same word occurring twice.

Re: Keyboard Racing - Yes or no?
This sounds like a good, genuine idea, so yes, you should make it.
Also, since you need some words, here are some that might go into level one:
One, Two, Six
Four, Red
Well, Pit
Wit, Sit
Hot, Bad
Mad, Sad
Had, Pad
Dad, Lad
Port, Can
Ran, Hat
Rat, Cart
Also, I'm curious, how many levels will you have?

I'm not exactly sure yet, I was thinking of around 10, but again I'm not sure.

Oh wait, I just had an idea. Why not have 10 regular levels and then a boss level with horrendously long words like arachibutyrophobia?

The longest word in the English language. 
Anyway, is there a specific level that you need words for? If not, then as soon as I can, I'm going to start giving you words for level 2.

Level 2 can range from 5 letter words to 10.
