Deep Thoughts

I was wondering something today, and figured I’d throw out out there. Is there a term for words or phrases that can be typed with one hand (while still on or near the home row position)? For example, with my left hand I can type some of the following words quickly:
- draft
- stewardess
- freeze
- trace
- stewart
- racecar
- earwax
It should be noted that this is by no means a comprehensive list, but a simple overview of what I’m talking about here. So the question is, does a term exist for such a word?

This is a good question. When I’m eating lunch at my desk, I really like these “one-handed words” It makes holding a sandwich and typing an email much easier.
