First, using standard practice "b" is typed with the left hand, so omitting that we have these letters to work with -- hijklmnopuy

RESULTS (16 words):
mm
mim, pip
mom, pop
kook, noon, poop
huh, mum, nun, pup
minim
pullup
oho, ulu

(I guess you could also use "lol", but that is actually an acronym, not a normal word.)

_____________________

AFTER working this out by hand, I figured out an EASY way to find such words -- as follows:

Go to the page http://www.morewords.com

Type the following in the search box:

h*h^abcdefgqrstvwxz

(interpretation -- look for words starting and ending with h, and NOT containing the letters abcdefgqrstvwxz)

Do the same thing, replacing the h's with each of the other ten letters (i-p + u, y). Each time the search will return a SHORT list of words (or none at all!). The palindromes should be easy to spot. .. all in maybe 5 minutes.

noon poop pop pip pup bib? bob? boob? nun mum

I'm not sure if 'b' is supposed to be with the right or left hand (I use my right)

And that's a pretty meager list I just gave, but it's the best I got :)

I can do racecar with just my left :)
