The word has 15 letters and is usually heard more betweem 8 to 5.~~

Ok Mitch, 'does not repeat any letters?' does this mean no adjacent pairs of letters or each letter only appears once anywhere in the word? If the latter then I guess I won't be getting any acknowledgements!

A 15 letter word with 15 different letters, none of which are a repeat.

That is the word my sources gave me Mark; my question is why not add an S and take it to 16 letters?
