Yeah, commonly used pairs of letters were split up to stop the typewriter jamming. But that doesnt mean you shouldnt be able to find long words that grouped together. Again, you'll do better on a qwerty keyboard than a dvorak one for this challenge; when I read kurashimas post I almost immediately googled for a dvorak layout so I could use a word from that to be 'clever', but its insanely hard to find anything

Yeah I know, I just dont think this has anything to do with this challenge
