What is the longest word that can be made using the letters on one row of the typewriter?

Answer 1

First, it is NOT "typewriter".

I know it's an attractive idea, but it isn't correct (and even if you don't accept any longer word, there are OTHER 10-letter words that would tie with it).

Probably the longest verifiable word is the 12- letter "teetertotter" (though it is often spelled with a hyphen)

As for other long ones:
The TEN-letter "typewriter" is, of course, a classic. But there's also: "perpetuity", "proprietor" and "repertoire".

Also, these rarer words have been suggested:
pepperroot, pepperwort, pewterwort, pirouetter, prerequire, pretorture, repetitory, tetterwort

And for LONGER ones-- if you can find them!-- try also:
11 letters: rupturewort (this one IS real!)
12 letters: proterotype, pituitotrope, uropyoureter

(Note -- all these words use the TOP letter-row of the typewriter. Since this row of a typewriter contains the vowels e, i, o, u and y (plus the very common letters t, r and p) it is hardly surprinsg that so many long words, including the longest, use this row.)

Answer 2

Pepperroot, pepperwort, pewterwort, pirouetter, prerequire, pretorture, proprietor, repertoire, repetitory, tetterwort, and typewriter, each ten letters long, are the longest English words that can be typed using only those letters in the top row of a typewriter.

Shakalshas, ten letters long, is the longest English word that can be typed using only those letters in the middle row of a typewriter. Nine letter words with this property include flagfalls, hadassahs, and haggadahs. Eight letter words with this property include alfalfas, galagala, galahads, and haskalah.
