re words that may be typed with one hand:

I submit that  the challenge is much more interesting with
 a Dvorak keyboard, as it is designed so that most words have you 
 alternating hands (this speeds things up, just like overlapped seek).

 The Dvorak layout is a lot like this (not counting specials)

	/ . , p y f g c r l
	 a o e u i d h t n s 
	    q j k x b m w v z

 Curiously enough, after a bit of experience the "w" and "v" seem
 more easily accessible than, say, the "p".

 Can anyone find a word longer than 6 letters that can be typed with one
 hand?
