Which is the longest word that can be typed in one line of a keyboard?

Question

E.G."ask" can be typed on the second line.

Answer 1

Since the top letter-line has all the vowels except a, as well as the common letters t, r and p, it is not surprising that quite a number of long words can be typed from this line alone.

BUT... the LONGEST is NOT "typewriter", as is often claimed (though if it DID qualify, OTHER 10-letter words tie 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

Answer 2

Typewriter, proprietor, repertoire and perpetuity are all 10 letters long and can be typed on the first line.

Answer 3

typewriter might be the longest non consecutive word but I think Qwerty is the longest consecutive word...
Def: Qwerty- A name for the standard computer keyboard, named by first six keys from left on the top alphabetic row.
