There's also "superoxide" (leaving "aamd") and "peroxidase" (leaving "almu").
Using letters multiple times, I get "premaxillaries" (leaving "dou") - or,
using a Dutch list of words, "parallellepipedums" (leaving "ox").
The Dutch list also gives me "psalmodieer", no replication of letters
(except allowing 'aa' and 'ee'), leaving "aux".
Using the 16-letter "aacdeegilmoprsux", I get:
English, no dups: "acromegalies", leaving "adpx"
English, dups: "acromegalies", leaving "adpx"
Dutch, no dups: "cameraploeg", leaving "disux"
"dagexcursie", leaving "aglmp"
"maagelixers", leaving "cdopu"
"paramedicus", leaving "eglox"
"psalmodieer", leaving "acgux"
Dutch, dups: "discussieprogramma", leaving "clx"
"programmaleiders", leaving "cux"
Abigail, wondering what "psalmodieer" means.
