_Question ID:_ 463  
_Type:_ True/False  
_Question:_ “Typewriter” is the longest word that can be typed using only the first row on a QWERTY keyboard.

I’ve received a report of this question potentially being incorrect with this link supplementing the claim: [The longest word made of the QWERTY top row isn't typewriter - Jason Stitt](https://jasonstitt.com/longest-top-row-word-not-typewriter)

In my opinion, the three words mentioned in the article are pretty rare and obscure with the exception of " Rupturewort" which does seem to have some weight since it’s recognized in Scrabble (see [Check - Scrabble & Word Finder | Collins Dictionary](https://scrabble.collinsdictionary.com/check/)). There’s also a Reddit thread discussing the topic from awhile back: [https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/mzndv/til\_that\_typewriter\_is\_not\_the\_longest\_word\_word/](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/mzndv/til_that_typewriter_is_not_the_longest_word_word/)

I would probably say the question should be marked as FALSE since it is not the only 10-letter word meeting the criteria, and there are 11-letter words in existence that could beat it out as well.
