There is a SEVEN-letter word with its letters in alphabetical order:

ovyybjl 

(ROT 13 so as not to spoil)

(p.s. here's a quick and easy, albeit manual way to decode ROT 13:
write the letters from A-M in a row, and line up the letters from N-Z
directly below.  To encode/decode, look up the letter and its ROT 13 will be
directly above or below it.)
