After reading the other answers, I feel silly because I only came up with "breading" and "neurotics" and "judgmental".

My word database contains only words less than 16 letters because it's used mostly for Scrabble. But I ran a query and got these 14 and longer.

uncopyrightable 15
dermatoglyphics 15
troublemakings 14
dermatoglyphic 14
ambidextrously 14

"hjg" asked: What did some others have for a resource.

I didn't use anything but my brain... which might explain the lameness of my answers. :-)

I thought of 'Elastic', but that might be stretching it for the longest word.

What is a word database? Just a list of words that I can query with specific criteria. For example, to solve this Trick of Mind, I just ask for a list of words with no repeating letters and with a length of 14 or more.
