If a word conforms to a special rule, I call it a Scanning Word™.

Answer 1

A Scanning Word™ is a word that

is typed strictly from left to right on a standard QWERTY keyboard layout (in roughly hexagonal key positions). SCRUM disambiguates the very close C and R, which allows us to infer the correct order. SEEN suggests that repeated letters are disallowed. More precisely, any subsequence of "QAZWSXEDCRFVTGBYHNUJMIKOLP".
