#1 Make the word timer smarter

[Nate Hopkins]

I have a feature request regarding the word timer.

According to wikipedia their average word length is 6 characters. Currently reading speed is constant regardless of word size. I find this works OK; however, I miss some larger words when I'm reading at 600+/wpm.

I would like to see some smarts built into the timer, so that the selected reading speed is based on an average word size of 6 characters. Whenever the word is less than 6 characters, the display time would be shorter; likewise, whenever the word size is greater than 6 characters, the display time would be longer.

I think this enhancement would improve overall comprehension and could still track accurately on the wpm settings.

What do you think?
