Bauxite!
Electrophoresis!
Zenzizenzic!

They're good words.

I don't know why I just like the word electrophoresis a lot

another good word: nonmonotonic

it is officially The Worst Word to type on a flip phone, since it has seven contiguous letters on the same key (and then another set of two contiguous letters on that same key again, but with a t in between)

other words that start with nonmono- work too. nonmonogamous, nonmonotheistic, etc

another good word: facetious, because it contains all five "main" vowel letters of the english language, in order, exactly once each

@BatElite I'm pretty sure it predates scrabble

It's an obsolete word meaning "to the fourth power"

"zenzizenzizenzic" meaning " to the eighth power" is also attested in at least one book

@packbat also the thing it refers to is Pretty Neat™

@Felthry in German the same phenomenon occurs in Alleinwohnung (single occupancy flat)
