tbg52 needs at least a six letter word to beat that.

If not, then concur.

No-trump isn't allowed.

Also, congratulations, 'concur' was the best answer (the only six-letter word as well!).

Sleigh.

*sigh* I was hoping you wouldn't find that.

Anyway, there is no possible words that can beat that, so shpeters wins this round.

And benjamin2, I stayed up until 12:30 looking for the right word.
