I started with a list of 8 letter words and eliminated ones that didn’t work, here is what I ended up with:
blintzes, cryolite, dicotyls, dilatory, enthalpy, epicotyl, foxtails, haylofts, idolatry, interlay, jarovize, keypunch, kyanites, lipocyte, penality, playtime, sodality, steamily, tensibly, triazole, unfairly, valorize, waterlog.

Aloha Nick,

Right with you bud. Why use a form of antiquated telegraph when you’ve got voice capability? Yeah, I’ve heard all about privacy, etc, but come on, unless you’re cheating on a test of some kind is it that hard to find a private place or time to speak?

I used to do this all the time with typewriters … trying to think of 8-letter words that used each of my fingers exactly once. It’s the same deal.

My favorites are foxtails, keypunch, knitwear, playtime, steamily, twangler (or twangles), uneasily.

I am terrible at this. But an interesting story is that I’ve owned a cell phone for years and have never sent a text message. Ever. I don’t plan to either. Apparently I’m not cool.
