Limited Alphabet (Posted on 2021-11-29)

What common 6-letter word uses only two successive letters of the alphabet?

How about a 6-letter word that uses only four successive letters of the alphabet?

DEEDED uses only two.
TRUSTS, STRUTS and POMPON each use only a span of four letters of the alphabet.
POMPOM uses a span of four but doesn't actually use the N. Likewise BEDDED spans four and doesn't actually use the C.
