    Default More English Words

    The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet.


    The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left.


    There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.


    There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious" (Ahem..... a e i o u)


    Typewriter is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.


    Stewardesses is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right.
