What's the Longest Word you can Type with One Hand?

[adk]

Using traditional hand placement, what is the longest word you can type with just one hand?


I've got aggregate, nine letters all left handed.

[Kernow]

Desecrated - 10 letters left hand

Also - aggregated :p

[Jaffa Cake]

Stewardesses with the left hand, for twelve letters.

Wouldn't you know it, there's already a website devoted to this question. :rolleyes:

I figured there would be an easy way to find it, I was just testing the ingenuity of MR users:D

[Jaffa Cake]

~very long word~Of course, you could always pluralise that. ;)

[Dagless]

Not entirely related but I smiled when I found out you can type "typewriter" all on the top row of keys!

Bonus points if you post a movie of you saying that ;)

Of course, you could always pluralise that. ;)

:D Good find!


Does pasting a really long word you already have on the clipboard using Cmd+V count as typing with one hand? :p I'm not sure I could beat that acetylserylnonsense though...

I sea what you did there. You broke the rules with that one. Y and T are operated by different hands, so you cannot type both t and y with one hand.

Therefore, fail.

[Leareth]

"screwed" is the longest on I can think of right now.
or "freewares" thats 9 ?

[Cassie]

Not entirely related but I smiled when I found out you can type "typewriter" all on the top row of keys!

Yeah, that's kind of an "easter egg" that's been around for a hundred years or so. :)

[IntellEJent]

Aftercataracts, tesseradecades and tetrastearates all have fourteen letters.

[Iscariot]

Not entirely on topic, but we have Googled the answer ;p

When I smashed one of my hands rock climbing, I learned to touch type with one hand.

At http://www.typingtest.com/ I can score 35 WPM with my left hand (dominant) and 37 WPM with my right hand (the one I didn't smash). Anyone else?

[mkrishnan]

Aftercataracts, tesseradecades and tetrastearates all have fourteen letters.

What exactly is the definition of word here? Are any of these words found in any dictionary of the English language? Tesseradecads appears to be a word, but tesseradecades doesn't. Aftercateracts (Medical aberration? Doesn't appear to be used with any frequency in medicine). Tetrastearates I guess could be seen as legitimate, but....

I don't think that that is a real word, when I googled the only results that I got were in this thread.;):D

[Counterfit]

Pff, I type all my posts with one hand.






Try to guess which one. :D

I'm more concerned about what the other hand is doing. :o

[Mord]

Keeping the rest of my fingers on the home keys I can reach every letter on the keyboard with my index finger.

I have freakishly long and slender hands.

P - right hand

therefore fail.
