The word groups have the following oddities -- as typed and seen upon a modern QWERTY keyboard:

Aftereffects, desegregated and reverberates are typed using only the left hand.
Galahads, hadassahs and alfalfas are typed using only the middle row of letters.
Pepperroot, proprietor and torture are typed using only the top row of letters.
Authenticity, dismantle and endowment are typed using the left and right hand, alternatingly.
Polonium, homophony and nonillion are typed using only the right hand.
Deeded, mummy and ceded are typed using only one finger.
