What is the longest word you know with no repeated letters?

subdermatoglyphic

WOW…that’s pretty impressive

Omphaloskepsis

sorry JP….that repeats the “s” and the “o” and the “p”

I thought you didn’t want the same letter next to each other. What you are looking for is slightly more difficult.

I’m not going to lie, I pulled it from the depths of Google, but the second longest one behind beast’s is uncopyrightable.

That sounds like a great thread too. (no repeat letters next to each other)

Thanks for your honesty lefteh. Nice word though

smiley. There is a mile between the first and last letter.

LOL

I almost thought it would be playthebanjo, but you just had to have a second “a” in there, didn’t you?

Aegilops is the longest word in alphabetical order, and has no repeats.
Spoonfeed is in reverse alphabetical order, but has two redundent letters.
Ain’t words fun?

Honestly, this was on Yahoo! Answers and was easily found with a simple Google search. If you want a more complete list of longer isograms, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogram

@lefteh- Uncopyrightables is longer that Uncopyrightable.

Pluralizing is totally cheating.

I think that the plural in that case is acceptable!

@Chuck

Actually, uncopyrightables is not a word. Uncopyrightable is an adjective, meaning that a copyright can’t be placed on a certain item. You were thinking it’s a noun, as in, “The uncopyrightables were stolen”. You can’t pluralize an adjective.

No. You can definitely use that as a noun. If fact the sentence you use to argue the point makes perfect sense. Most adjectives in English can be used as nouns.

I was using the sentece to say that it can’t be used as a noun. That sentece I used is gramatically incorrect.

See here for further information.

I’m not arguing that it isn’t an adjective. I’m just saying most words we identify as adjectives can double as nouns, often in the same form. eg- What crazy people!
What a bunch of crazies!

I’m with AstroChuck. Convertibles, edibles, detachables, etc.

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu repeat letters but is kind of funny word.

I always liked the name of Hawai’i’s state fish, Humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Such a long named for such a tiny fish.

I have a friend from Hawaii, and I’ve been known to pay him to pronounce that name. The guttural “ah-ah” sound at the end is the best.
