The longest word you can type on the first row

- bitwize 3y agoGermans would type on a QWERTZ keyboard (Z and Y are swapped). This may theoretically considerably open up the space of possible top-row-only German words, as Z is very common in German (especially after T).
- allendoerfer 3y agoWhich is exactly why the two letters are swapped.

- aidenn0 3y agoWhat are your rules for what counts as a "word"? If you go with the basic scrabble rules (i.e. nothing that would be capitalized or punctuated) then YAWL[1] is pretty good, with the downside being the most recent version I know of is from 2008. FYI, rupturewort is the sole 11-letter word answer to TFA in YAWL; found using: grep '^[qwertyuiop]*$' word.list |while read -r line; do echo "${#line} ${line}"; done |sort -n | tail 1: https://github.com/elasticdog/yawl https://github.com/elasticdog/yawl

- juujian 3y agoWorks for Ubuntu, too. My Colemak self can only get fluffy (6) from the front row, that's the longest word. Middle row really shines though, I can get hardheartedness (15) or assassinations (14).
- tiltowait 3y agoInteresting that your dictionary doesn't have "tenderheartedness", which is two letters longer.
- seabass-labrax 3y agoGulp, fluffy puppy pug! Yup. Fly, ugly pup, fly. I note that hardheartedness and hotheadedness threaten the darnedest nonstandard assassinations. Such sordidness!
- travisgriggs 3y agoNice. Middle/Second row result is 8 flagfall "Flagfall, or flag fall, is a common Australian expression for a fixed start fee, especially in the taxi, haulage, railway, and toll road industries." 8 galagala "A name in the Philippine Islands of Dammara Philippinensis, a coniferous tree yielding dammar-resin." Lower/Third Row: - None There are no vowels on the bottom row. So no words.

- noxvilleza 3y agoI'm surprised that PROPRIETORY wasn't found in the Andrew Stephens 2009 search.
- svat 3y agoMost dictionaries list only the standard form PROPRIETARY, so it is arguable whether a word list should contain "PROPRIETORY": although Merriam-Webster and Wiktionary (unlike most dictionaries) list it as an alternative spelling, and it does occur a few times in the wild (e.g. see https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=proprietory%2Cproprietary https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=proprietory%2C... for a comparison), it is not surprising that most word lists leave it out. (Or, even if it occurs in a word list, Stephens may have excluded it, and there is sufficient justification for doing so.)
- seabass-labrax 3y agoYou might find the... 'translation'[1] of Genesis 1 using only keys on the Colemak home row interesting: In the start The One has risen the stars and the earth. The earth had no order, and nothin' resided there; and shade resided on the nonendin' 'neath. And The One rided on the seas. Then The One said: "I desire it to shine"; and it shone. And The One had seen the shine, that it's neat; and The One sorted the shine on one side, and the shade on the other. The One then denoted the shine and the shade. So the nite and the shine that are date no. one had ended. [1]: https://colemak.com/Fun https://colemak.com/Fun

That VM comes with Vim (non-standard) so use Vim or Edit to create a word list and save as c:\words.txt. Then yype all this code into a batch file using `edit run.bat` and then run it with `run %1`. MS-DOS 6.22 came with QBASIC so I think that's allowed; I tried to avoid it but wasn't able to. NB. DOS is way less capable than Windows cmd prompt so there's no `for /f` or anything. "Dir /OS /B" sorts files by size and that view will leave the largest files on screen as the answer. The files will be one per word, containing the word so the size in bytes is the word length and the filename is the word to see it in the file listing. The words will be echoed into the files by a helper batch file containing `echo %1 > %1`. Building the helper batch file is hard because echo cannot echo > into a file. The qwerty filtering is a chain of `find /V "a"` for excluding each of the other rows cough. I then couldn't loop over the file lines without QBASIC. [1] https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=msdos https://copy.sh/v86/?profile=msdos If you never used MS-DOS classic, try "edit test.txt" and see how it has a nice TUI, where Alt+F brings up the File menu, the brightly coloured letters are the hotkeys, so Alt+F, X will quit. Shift+Down will select a line, Shift+Delete to cut and Shift+Insert to paste. Ctrl+left/right arrows to jump forward/back a word, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to select a word. 29 years later those keyboard patterns still work in this FireFox editor, in current notepad, WordPad and Word, and in my muscle memory. Escape tends to exit back out of popups and menus. Quit and try "help date" and see the TUI help, where the green angle brackets are hyperlinks and can be TAB'ed between, Enter to activate and Escape back. F1 is still the help key, only it actually showed offline help back then instead of doing a Bing search for 'get help in notepad'. Quit and run QBasic, see how F5 runs the code.

- lovehashbrowns 3y agoI tried to do some other fun things like going row by row with each row only contributing one letter and seeing what’s the longest word I could come up with. If I start at the top row and go down, I can make TAXES but couldn’t think of a longer word. The third row having no vowels makes it so hard. Starting at the bottom row and going up, I came up with CHICKEN which is delicious and neat that it ends where it started. Chickens is longer but ends on the middle row which is not as neat I feel like :(
- JoshTriplett 3y ago> If I start at the top row and go down, I can make TAXES but couldn’t think of a longer word. The third row having no vowels makes it so hard. A dictionary search turned up "paxwaxes" as the longest word I could find that starts in the top row and goes down, wrapping around to the top every three letters. > Starting at the bottom row and going up, I came up with CHICKEN which is delicious and neat that it ends where it started. Chickens is longer but ends on the middle row which is not as neat I feel like :( Chickens is indeed the longest. If you start at the bottom row and go up-and-down: cataclysms, or catamarans. If you start at the top row and go down-and-up: escapable. If you start in the middle and go down-and-up: scarabaean If you start in the middle and go up-and-down, I didn't find anything longer than 7 letters, and there were 39 seven-letter words, including "discard", "grandpa", and "stacked".
- kristopolous 3y agoHere's something you may not know, the *-insane dictionaries, which are giant, are functions of OCR output and are known to contain lots of errors. I found a few earlier this year and I was going to file a bug so I did some research to find out this is a known and expected behavior. If the computer say reads stubborn as stubbum, the smaller dictionaries are the ones that have cross checked and filtered those out. The insane ones do not. It's a good name. "Lack of sanity checks" Here's an example word I found, "suabilities". You'll find it only on wordlist sites that used this wordlist and I guess, now here.
- schoen 3y agoI've used the insane dictionaries a number of times for puzzle stuff and I never knew that they were derived from OCR output. Thanks for mentioning that!

I still don't understand how it would make its way into the standard unless that part wasn't written by someone who is competent in japanese. I wonder how often that happens - surely there's tons of people dealing with japanese text who can't read it and just use diligence to make sure the "letters are the same"

- jedberg 3y ago> I imagine German has some epic words that can be written in just the first row. My understanding of German grammar is that words can be of infinite length since they allow unlimited compounding. But they also have a language authority that makes words official, and the current longest is 68 letters. So it would indeed be an interesting exercise in German.
- tauchunfall 3y agoWhat is the name of this language authority? I researched and found "Council for German Orthography" and "Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache" (Association for the German Language). Duden (the standard German dictionary) is the closest I know. And they list "Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung" (the German word for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) with 44 letters as the longest in the dictionary [1]. *Update:* There are also [2] and [3] but they are both not anymore part of a law (the "-gesetz" suffix in the word) or regulation (the "-verordnung" suffix in the word), respectively.

- neilk 3y agoI think we can do better than 11 characters! I happen to have a corpus which includes pretty much every word ever written in a book, including many misspelled, mistranscribed, or otherwise non-dictionary words. After eliminating nonsense, non-English, or other mistakes, I think the real winner, coming it at 12 characters, is: teetertotter That's a relatively common word. Even though it's usually seen hyphenated, the unhyphenated form is recognized by all the online dictionaries I found. ---- And some other candidates, just for fun, in the 13 or 12 character range: proproprietor priorityqueue reporterette preprototype "proproprietor" seems more like a misspelling. Should have a hyphen, or be two words. "priorityqueue" is of course familiar to hackers here, but is more of a jargon term, and is only concatenated due to appearing in source code. Invariably it's two words when actually written out. "reporterette" is antique, but appeared in a NYTimes headline as late as 2018 - the author reflected on her career, including sexist epithets. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/02/opinion/george-hw-bush-maureen-dowd.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/02/opinion/george-hw-bush-ma... "preprototype" is used exactly as is, in lots of scientific papers, up to the current day. That's a pretty good one too, and could be a tie for "teetertotter", but it's verging on jargon.
