    		Sesquioxide is the highest-scoring word, but not the longest.

    Since the board is 15x15, any valid 15-letter word will suffice, e.g. "unobjectionable".

    		There are a lot of fifteen-letter words that are allowed in Scrabble, such as uncopyrightable, listed at this link of words with no repeated letters. There are many more. Given the size of the board, which is 15 x 15, that is the length of the longest word you could play.

    		Sesquioxidizing is thought so far to be the highest scoring word that can be played on the board at 2044 points. But there are many 15 letter words that will lefally go on the board.
