What everyday word from the English language uses the highest number of differing letters? I am after the shortest word with the most letters.

eg.
KNIFE has 5, where SPOON only has 4. so KNIFE is better.
The word SPINES has 5 differing letters but is 6 letters long so KNIFE would be better here also.
The word POSTERS has 6 differing letters, even though it is 7 letters long, this will beat KNIFE.

From what I understand, you are looking for the word that has the most different letters. Then, out of all the ones that tie for first place, the one that has the least amount of letters wins.

Otherwise, it would just be UNCOPYRIGHTABLE again, but I think longer words could beat this.
