Longest word with adjacent letters on a keyboard (without using any letters twice)

Question

I know this question is very similar to GOTO 0's Longest word with adjacent letters on a keyboard, but all the answers to GOTO 0's question had many repeating letters. I need to find a word in this list that all the letters within are adjacent to the next on a QWERTY keyboard layout, that also only uses each letter once.

GOTO 0's keyboard for reference

 ┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
 | Q | W | E | R | T | Y | U | I | O | P |
 └─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┘
   | A | S | D | F | G | H | J | K | L |
   └─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴───┘
     | Z | X | C | V | B | N | M |
     └───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘

Can you define adjacent in this context? For instance are diagonals allowed? — Beastly Gerbil, Apr 20 '20 at 20:34

trews

What did you use to find those words? Would I be able to use it to sort through other lists on my own? – Very Specific Word Searcher Apr 21 '20 at 16:21
