- 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. I've been typing at ~ 50wpm for 30 years, and I don't think I'd ever actually consciously recognized this fact about the bottom row. (standard US keyboard layout)
- JoshTriplett 3y agoFor QWERTY, I found two nine-letter words using only the middle row: halakhahs and haggadahs. And yeah, nothing in the bottom row other than acronyms and similar pseudo-words.
