I'm a really slow typist, usually using between four and six fingers. A word I'm really good with, though, is the word "property", because half of it is right there, in a row, on the keyboard; E-R-T-Y
Whenever that word turns up, I really pick up speed.
I've read you can type the word "typewriter" all on the top row too. They did this so people selling typewriters could slip in a piece of stationary paper and type the word "typewriter" like a pro. It was done as a selling hook cause otherwise they would use instead the check and peck method which would make it seem like they didn't know what they are doing. Cause at the time it was at the time it was a newfangled invention and nobody had no clue where any on the letters where on it and no one had developed typing skill yet. Dr. August Dvorak was wise to this and tried to improve the arrangement, but not at much success.


(I've just noticed your post, sorry for the late reply)
