What words can you make from just the home row of letters A-L?

Question

what words can you make using only the letters at the home row keys..

Answer 1

Since you didn't say otherwise, I'll assume we're allowed to reuse letters (otherwise the list will be VERY short).

Working through systematically in alphabetical order I came up with 50 or so off the top of my head. But there are MANY more --

morewords. com lists 195 such words, it you know how to look them up. This is a pretty complete list (unless you also want proper names, which can be spelled any which way, so that's a whole nother kettle of fish.)

Here's how it works

1) Go to the home page
http://www.morewords.com

2) In the search box, type the line below this (and press enter):

* ^zxcvbnmqwertyuiop

(That says, ALL words [* = any letters, of unlimited number] EXCEPT [^ means 'not'] those having zxcv, etc. I included all the letters NOT in the home row to find what you're after.)

The page returned to you should list the following:

aah, aa, aahs, aal, aals, aas, ad, add, adds, ads, aff, ag, aga, agas, agha, aghas, ah, aha, al, ala, alas, alaska, alaskas, alfa, alfalfa, alfalfas, alfas, alga, algal, algas, all, alls, als, as, ash, ashfall, ashfalls, ask, asks, a.s.s, dad, dada, dadas, dads, daff, daffs, dag, dagga, daggas, dags, dah, dahl, dahls, dahs, dak, daks, dal, dals, dash, dhak, dhaks, dhal, dhals, fa, fad, fads, f.a.g, fags, fall, fallal, fallals, falls, fas, fash, flag, flags, flak, flash, flask, flasks, gad, gads, gaff, gaffs, gag, gaga, gags, gal, gala, galah, galahs, galas, gall, galls, gals, gas, gash, glad, glads, glass, ha, haaf, haafs, had, hadal, hadj, hag, haggada, haggadah, haggadahs, haggadas, hags, hah, haha, hahas, hahs, haj, hajj, halakah, halakahs, halakha, halakhas, halala, halalah, halalahs, halalas, half, hall, hallah, hallahs, halls, has, hash, jag, jagg, jaggs, jags, ka, kaas, kaf, kafs, kaka, kakas, kas, kasha, kashas, khaf, khafs, la, lad, lads, lag, lags, lakh, lakhs, lall, lalls, las, lash, lass, sad, sag, saga, sagas, sags, sal, salad, salads, salal, salals, sall, sals, salsa, salsas, sash, sass, sh, sha, shad, shads, shag, shags, shah, shahs, shall, shh, ska, skag, skags, skald, skalds, skas, slag, slags, slash

Answer 2

Home Row Keys

Answer 3

Originally, keyboards have been mounted so essentially the most-used letters have been struck through the most powerful hands, and least-used have been off at the edges. Unfortunately, ancient typewriters bought jammed with no trouble should you typed too speedy, so that they rearranged the keys to gradual down typists and preclude jamming. (ironic real tale!) There is an choice keyboard referred to as the Dvorak that makes use of essentially the most-used letters on most powerful hands procedure, however each person learns the natural QWERTY procedure (that is what it is referred to as), and it is hard to be trained a brand new one. I have no idea if you'll get an ABC keyboard.
