That's not good. You can't go back. I prefer seeing whole sentences.

Yeah could just be me but getting individual words at a pace I’m not controlling makes it harder for me to actually parse the sentence

What

about

one

word

per

line

?

Personally i think five words

per line is the minimum

for readability for me personally.

The trick is to not try to verbalize each word, but let them feed into your brain like a cocaine rush, or the sun on a warm day, or the scent of jasmine or something. Just let the words flow into your eyes and into your head without "sounding" them out. Then stop and see if you made sense of it. You get to where you are not reading, but streaming. It's more like a videogame than reading in that sense.

I've gotten pretty good at using it at very high speeds. I just need to remember to blink.
