Advantage Everlong, using mother tongue

My Mom would slap me down if I even tried to type with her tongue.

Antman, how about the scrambling? Was I even close?

+1

But, that is not every letter.

I forgot Q existed on the top row. I'm getting tired.

Yes. The physical mechanism could not operate as fast the typist. The letter arrangment went through a few permutations before the current layout became standard. And no, I wasn't there.

FYI - Bell originally hired pre-teen boys as patchboard operators in central office exchanges. They were rude and impudent, so Bell replaced them with "women of good character". Hello, Central!

You are so close to another correct answer. It is also spelled on the top row, but only has 5 letters.

Finnish keyboard layout is normal QWERTY, like US. But German layout is called QWERTZ, because it is qwerty with one exception: letters Y and Z have switched place. So everytime I buy a new keyboard (or laptop) here, I have to start with digging Y and Z out and placing them where I`m used to see them, correspond with my Finnish kb-layout.

Quiet.

I give up trying to find a word that uses every letter.

Only word I could think of that includes Q is "prerequire".

French keyboard layout is AZERTY. Using one of them in French layout is a pain in the arse.

LMAO that you spent any time trying all letters.
