An isogram (also known as a non-patterned word) is a word in which every letter appears with identical frequency. In a first-order isogram, no letter is repeated at all.
The word "isogram" was coined by recreational linguist Dmitri Borgmann in his seminal 1965 book "Language on Vacation". The longest recognized first-order isogram in English without repeating letters is "subdermatoglyphic" (17 letters), followed by "uncopyrightables" (16 letters), and "dermatoglyphics" (15 letters). Second-order isograms (pair isograms), in which every letter appears exactly twice, include "intestines" and "reappear".
