what is the longest English word with all unique letters, that is, no duplicate letters. an example is "junkyard". "bar" fits the definition, too, but "junkyard" is longer. anything longer that? i know there is. so, what is the longest? a long word that does not fit the definition is "misinterpretations". there are a few duplicate letters in there, such as "i", "s", "n", "t", "e" and "r".
I get ambidextrously, but I suppose it depends on your dictionary.
Using this:

I found
cloth-measuring to be the biggest.
>>> biggest = ''
>>> with open('words.txt') as f:
... for line in f:
... if len(line) == len(set(line)):
... if len(line) > len(biggest):
... biggest = line
...
>>> biggest
'cloth-measuring\n'Not sure if hyphenated words count, though.

they count if you want them to.
I say the max is 16: uncopyrightabled (having been made into something that cannot be copyrighted).

your vocabulary is definitely better than mine.
i have used a 10 letter one since my days in college to obscure things like my CC numbers where i need to write them down.
