well she says it's a trick question....but I did a lil digging and if you want to be technical about it there is more then one word spelled in alphabetical order....\n\nThe longest word whose letters are in alphabetical order is the eight-letter Aegilops, a grass genus. The seven-letter addeems (from the archaic verb addeem, meaning to award), alloquy (an archaic or literary word for an address), beefily (in a beefy manner), billowy (like a wave or surge), dikkops (a South African bird) and gimmors (plural of gimmor, an old-fashioned word for a mechanical contrivance) are also close.\n\n\n\nas for the trick part... I don't get it! LOL

I don't know the longest list, but I did manage to find one here: http://www.ehumorcentral.com/Directory/Jokes/674.html\n\nI've put it down again in the sources, if Yahoo edits out the full address :)

It's called a "palindrome", like racecar... r-a-c-e-c-a-r. Cool, huh?\nAn "ambigram" can be read upside down the same. An example would be "pod" (like in a pea pod). Tilt your head upside down and see what I mean... : )

The longest non-technical word is flocci­nauci­nihili­pili­fication at 29 letters. Consisting of a series of Latin words meaning "nothing" and defined as "the act of estimating something as worthless," its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741.In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Robert Byrd, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically

palindrome\nA palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units (such as a strand of DNA) that has the property of reading the same in either direction (the adjustment of punctuation and spaces between words is generally permitted). The word "palindrome" comes from the Greek πάλιν (palin) "back" and δρóμος (dromos) "way, direction". Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing.

The longest *actual* word in the English language is Antidisestablishmentarianism (supercalafragalisticexpecialadocious does not count, seeing as it is not a real word)

The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as the act of estimating (something) as worthless, its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Jesse Helms, and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. The acceptability of the 33-letter adverbial form floccinaucinihilipilificastically is subject to controversy.

Stewardesses; \n\nI believe this is the longest word which can be typed with one hand (left) when typing in the correct manner.
