+ - SPAM: Unix dict/grep fixes left-side-of-keyboard puzzle

Submitted by

destinyland writes "For decades, people have been asking this brain teaser: "What's the longest word you can type with only the left-hand letters on a keyboard." The answer is supposed to be "stewardesses," but grepping the standard dictionary that ships with Unix reveals a much better answer. There's nearly 2,000 shorter words that can typed with only the left hand — including one word that's even longer. (The article also quotes a failed novel attempt using nothing but words typed on the keyboard's left side.)"
