The original problem text was erroneous.  It should have been:

"H H H A A P P O I E B 
Find a valid English word (11-letters!) and provide its meaning."

That is, precisely one "I" was missing in it.

This corrected version anagrams as "HAPHEPHOBIA"
Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary defines haph-e-pho-bi-a as "a morbid dislike or fear of being touched."

Without that anomaly, this problem would have made a great word puzzle. I tried to bring up the rating as much as possible from a mere D1.
