I hit z with my ring finger, so it's not that bad (though not a good word by any means).  If I didn't, though, "Azazel" would sure give a run for my money.

Aside from the a/z stuff, the dictionary words with same-finger substrings of length 4 or more are: "queue" (+ variations) and "Houyhnhnm", according to this recipe.

The most awkward I've noticed while practicing are one-handed row-jumping words.  The one that comes to mind is "mummy".

My least favorite words are the "dg" and "ue" combination, which fortunately doesn't happen that often, and any of the all left handed common words.

"Judged", "Edged", "Queue", "Start", "Stats"

doesn't, environment, economic

I happen to be left handed too, but still, minimum is quite a bit easier to type on Colemak than it is on QWERTY. I think it requires something like 6 home row jumps on QWERTY, a jump for every letter. It's a common word I mistype on QWERTY.

Actually, I tend to be a cross-dominate person, left handed writer(and in some other things.), but right handed for a lot other things. I use a right handed keyboard and mouse setup. for single handed words, I tend to find left handed ones a little bit easier.

I do the same thing as lalop does with z, it's rather hard to hit zxc with the fingers you are supposed to use, so I use ring finger for z, middle for x and index for c, it makes for typing the word zigzag a bit easier. It gets rid of the az/za bigram, not sure if you'd run into others though doing that though.

That's pretty bad on your right index finger. As for the j, it probably depends on how hard it is for you to hit that key, for me anyways it's pretty easy to reach, easier than the b key.

I took my logbook from my strongbox and noted that eggbeaten crabgrass with dog bones is a good springboard for fogbound, tugboating of longboats.

Interesting: Using the D>B>G mod I find the 'gb' bigram quite easy. 'bg' is acceptable. (That corresponds to 'dg'/'gd' in normal Colemak.) It does take alternative fingering of course; I'm using the middle finger for the B on the top row.

Well, some bigrams have to be horrible of course. Good thing it's a rare one then!

Oh yes. Bad bad word. And I have no alternative fingering suggestions for it, that's how evil it is.

Oh, that's brilliant. It went way over my head, like a Brobdingnagian.

Gee, I wonder why so many alt-layout peeps are such gigantic geekazoids... ;-)
