I think none but at this moment, I think it better to revise it to 5 characters that bring the lowest results since some already managed 4 results on 6 letters, I managed 8.

No... that's what "NO" means. A "Yes" will be 0 results.

Maybe you should read the thread... the OP has all the info you need.
 
well, there are only 823,543 possible 6 letter permutations from the home keys (excluding semi-colon)

Given that a lot of these seem to just be random combinations (the hits), and given the variation of the combinations that I tried, it seems that 0 hits for some of those 823,543 is rather likely.
