Is it true that typewriter is the longest English word that can be composed using only the top row of the QWERTY board?
Saw that on another board and it just seems so pat.
The other one is “perpetuity”
Well, that was fast!
Thanks…
The type line is good Territory for power words.
PEWTERWORT
PIROUETTER
PIRQUETTER
REPETITORY
TYPEWRITER
The above list doesn’t contain any queerity extension words… you might say its prequeerity.
Oh , here’s an 11 letter word… PROTEROTYPE … so typewriter is not equal first… ?
I am designing a new kind of typewriter that will be built in such a logical way that, like the Deacon’s Masterpiece, it should last for 100 years, or forever, whichever is longer. I have a preliminary model almost ready for its first test drive.
It’s a protoperpetuitypewriter.
I once read a whimsical suggestion that the entire top row in the order in which it’s set out – QWERTYUIOP – would make a good word in its own right. Namely, an onomatopoeic term for a corkscrew: “Qw…ert” would be the sound of the cork being – with some exertion – loosened, and starting to come out; and “Yui-op !” the triumphant sound of the cork actually being extracted, with a squeak and a pop.
Is there an app for that?
