6 letter word who's letters cant be used to make any other words?

was looking for a word that is 6 letters or more that the individual letters cant be used to make any other words

Update:

wanted to add that the letters cant be combined to make a 3 letter word. I was also wondering if someone knew the longest word those letters cant be used to make a 3 letter word. I am asking this because I like to push my son in his learning and thought this could be an extra credit type thing for him and I dont have the time to look and find these words in the dictionary myself.

Update 2:

thank you robink I knew there would be words out there that werent normally used word or everyday words. I want my son to really scour the dictionary to find words and this is something just what I was looking for

Update 3:

petunia b thank you too for trying

    I doubt there is any such word where NO other words could be formed from the letters within it.

    rhythm: thy, try

    jazzed: jazz, daze, zed, jade

    liquid: lid grrr!!!!

    Okay - I'm trying! ;)

    Lymphs? : sly, ply

    hiccup (even though it's really hiccough!) : cup, chi, chip...hip...

    sizzle: ugh!!: size, lie, lies

    fizzle: lie, file, life

    sprung? : rung, sung, snug, gnus, guns, gnu....

    sequoia?: grrr!!! sea, use, ais, eau

    buzzed: buzz, zed, bud, dub

    Yeah - I really doubt such a word exists! Good luck, though! :)
