whats the longest word that can be typed on a row of letters on the keyboard?

Answer 1

The popular belief is that the longest such word is, ironically, "typewriter". But this is not quite true.

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 that ALL of the words above are typed on the TOP letter-row of the keyboard. That is scarcely surprising, since ALL the vowels except "a" are found in that row, and the very common consonants p, r and t are also there.

As far as I can tell by doing this, typewriter is the longest word that can be made by using only one row of keys on a computer keyboard. but, I am most likely wrong in that assumption.
