Try Top Typing! (Posted on 2005-09-15) Difficulty: 2 of 5
What ten-letter (or longer) words in the English language can be typed using only the top row of keys on a keyboard?

Hint: the letters can be used more than once.

How about using only the middle row keys? Keys on left side (the left of T, G, and B)? On the right side (the right of Y, H, and N)?

This can't be right... | Comment 6 of 20 |

Even if you allow all words of length 7 or greater,  in my rather massive 360,681 word wordlist, "lollipop" is the only recognizable word made up exclusively of the letters to the right of Y, H and N; namely, the commonly occurring letters I, J, K, L, M, O, P, U. (5 consonanats and 3 vowels.) That is a little mysterious. 

Unless there's something wrong with my program :) 

ijijimo, ipilipil, kolokolo, kukukuku, lollipop, lomilomi, loukoum, lulliloo, millpool, molompi, okupukupu, ooloopooloo, pililloo, pioupiou, pippippip, pokomoo.
