Typewriter Words: All Fingers Used

Authors

Abstract

In "Typewriter Words" in the November Word Ways, Mike Keith define isofinger words as those in which each finger is used at most once (fo eight-letter words, each finger used exactly once). I find the ter isofinger unfortunate, since iso- means "equal" when the opposite I intended. As possible alternatives, I propose hertofinger (somewhat un gainly), heterodigital (hybrid components), or pandigital (in my opinion the biggest).
