Single handedly.......

Another word game is here. As I was typing an article, I typed the word “trade” and it suddenly struck me that I used only my left hand to type the entire word. Can you contribute more such words that we can type with only one hand - either the left or right.

Interesting game, I tried various words but could only type PLUM with my right hand!

I think you were speaking of "plumb". Am I right? But then again we have to use both hands to do that. :P

no not plumb, but plum which is a fruit and I did type it single handedly!

Oh I thought that you wanted to say plumb. But yes, what you said is also right. Apart from what you said there are "as" and "we" another two words that can be typed with only one hand. But they are only two letters.
There are many such words. One is 'As'. another- 'Ass', One is add. I think that such exercise is not worth inclusion in discussion. It will be better to discuss some useful topic that may be of interest to users. Accordingly, this is locked.

'weep' is not corrected as pointed out. I am unlocking this thread as requested.

Well, I checked these all and that's good to have all of them singled handedly.
Here are some right-handed ones:

poll
hull
null
mull
hill
bill
bulk
hulk
gull
pull
loop
pool
bull
milk
gulp

Oh my God Kalyani, you have contributed too many words. In fact, many more than I expected. Great job.!
He he he! All in a day's work, Abhijeet!!! If I really get serious I can type more words, but no time for that! :whistle:
You may 'lock' the thread with both hands but if you were to 'kill', single hand would suffice.

true- even mop up is not a problem with a single hand.
Most four letter words can be typed with left or right hand singly!

free
tree
fear
sear
here
care
veer
reef

etc. etc. These were all by left hand! B)

Hey Kalyani, I think you have a bunch of such words which can be typed with a single hand. Looks a masterly class for sure.
Just a little correction - "here" is not the right word here.

Why can't it be the right word? The question is whether you can type singlehandedly and not whether you should stick to the keyboard structure as I know that H is more towards the right! But words with H can still be typed by left hand!

I think that the thread refers to standard touch system of typing. 'Here' is hence incorrect. Otherwise many type only with one finger or two fingers or as they like. You may type any word singlehandedly that way. Moreover, the term single handed strictly speaking dos not refer to typing with one hand. This really means 'doing anything by yourself without assistance of anyone'. Thus even if you type something without any one's help, this is single handed job. I feel that this thread needs be locked.

I have seen people type with only one finger and they take hours to type a few sentences. The standard typing rules are to be used when I started this thread. Secondly, there is no need to go to 'strict' rules. This thread is a light hearted one and we are not expected to take literal meanings everytime.
And yes, you may go on to lock the thread. I like this, especially as you have alerted me about that. That's like a good moderator.
