Re: longest words whose letters are in order.

A quick perusal of /usr/dict/words shows these sixteen six-letter words
with their letters in (non-strict) monotonic order.
Non-indented words are in strict order. Note that "chimps" isn't here. (!)
I found no longer words in order.

We will probably be putting our 2.5 Mbyte dictionary on line soon;
I'll check it out and post any new results.
This is, after all, serious work.

    abbott
    accent
    accept
    access
    accost
almost
    bellow
    billow
biopsy
    chilly
    choosy
    choppy
    effort
    floppy
    glossy
    knotty
