I think I can score 26 for the following reason
aa
babble
access
add
bee
off
egg
withheld
radii
hajj
bookkeeping
llama
mamma
manna
book
apple
zaqqum
array
ass
kettle
vacuum
savvy
powwow
Exxon
cubbyyew
buzz

I accept that Exxon is pushing my luck, so if that is disallowed I claim a score of 25, because I suspect that Roman numerals such as xxii will also be blocked.

As I've said before, the old ones are be best and this question really is one of the old ones.

In Russian, there is a word for "long-necked" (neutral gender):
длинношеее (животное)

Try to beat that :-)

What is that new c tag? That text back ground colour change that to some thing define before wards itself! Alien! ≠ devil!
Enter replaced by space to conserve space!
Software application will always automatically insert line break in the this mersenne forum thread post if available if it goes off beyond screen also too - recent modern latest.
Edited to keep width of window in check.
Devil ≠ alien!
Why 666 = ghost number? Why?
Why 35007 = loose number? Why?
One spoiler for one line used up.
Or one spoiler for two lines combined up.

If I were in your shoes, then I would have scored out 20 out of 26 points with the exception of letters J, Q, V, W, X, Y.
At least good enough to have got two of them in a word rather than instead of two consecutive positions and places!
There are lots of better words in letters M and N than what you have got given as like that - that MAMMA and MANNA but that
that there are fewer of better words in letter A than what you have got given as like that - that AA. AARDVARK
Two line breaks made in to the one in to the quote ≠ code tag!
Referring in to the dictionary and atlas and in to the solved problem word puzzle!
Expressing out every type of the thing is impossible!

Referring with to a dictionary and atlas, it is always obvious enough to write out a some software application to find with to the these types of things out!
Tiger 2002 first referred out to me to this problem out!
What about an-other vowels and consonants are letters?

Regarding continental drift, at the Earth Byte web site page, tectonic plate motions seem to be ridiculous and meaningless. But that
that those expressed in to the Davidson 16807 in to the sphere shape git hub.io web site page, tectonic plate motions appear to be reasonable and sensible - in to the in to the Size Shape Stroke Script - in to the in to the!
How can tectonic plate motions moving in to the specified forward direction suddenly change in to the direction and then move reverse direction?
This is not magnetic field north and south pole magnet reversal! By using the same way, what causes our own Earth planet air and water from
having getting depleted away? Magnetic field or gravity?
For nearly 200 million years, Earth was a water world. First life started on water. Reducing atmosphere becomes oxidizing atmosphere.
Methane (CH4), carbon di oxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), ammonia (NH3) → oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), carbon di oxide (CO2), argon (Ar).
I inhaled ammonia (NH3) gas once back in to the year 2006 in to the oldness 10 years ago old. No thing happened - had got - had got.
Preserve and conserve water, air, wild life and natural resources. Holocene extinctions. Mass extinctions events available up - always available also too recent modern latest!
Atmospheric carbon di oxide (CO2) levels - 400 parts per million levels plus - for the first time in to the recorded in to the history!
On the day our own Earth planet is having getting destroyed, will it get flooded with water? By Sun's increasing luminous intensity, water can
only have got evaporated away slowly and gradually not rapidly and fastly - not not - much further more land have got visible away till until
plate tectonic motion movements ceases and are stops totally most further more togetherly.
Is Earth losing water and air by evaporation process?
As we go higher, we get colder. Why? We are nearing to the Sun, so it must get hotter!
Our own Earth planet is 4.6 × 109 years old, it may be survive for an other 4.6 × 109 years old.

Moon is tidally locked to Earth. Sun and Mercury share orbital resonance. Pluto and Charon are mutually tidally locked either - or both simultaneously!
L4 and L5 stable Lagrange points of massive planets are filled up with lots of gas and dust. L1, L2 and L3 Lagrange points are of unstable type of thing - type of thing.

In 1695, Edmond Halley discovered that eclipses recorded in ancient history did not match calculations for the times or places of those eclipses. Starting with records of eclipses in his day and the observed motion of the Moon and Sun, he used Isaac Newton's new theory of universal gravitation (1687) to calculate when and where ancient should have occurred and compared them with eclipses actually observed more than 2,000 years earlier. They did not match. Halley had great confidence in the theory of gravitation and resisted the temptation to conclude that the force of gravity changed as time passed. Instead, he proposed that the length of a day on Earth must have increased by a small amount.

If the Earth's rotation had slowed down slightly, the Moon must have gained the angular momentum to conserve the total angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system. This boost in angular momentum for the Moon would have caused it to spiral slowly outward from the Earth to a more distant orbit where it travels more slowly. If, 2,000 years earlier, the Earth had been spinning a little faster and the Moon had been a little closer and orbiting a little faster, then eclipse theory and observation would match. Scientists soon realized that Halley was right.

But what would cause the Earth's spin to slow? Tides. The gravitational attraction of the Moon is the principal cause of the ocean tides on Earth. As the shallow continental shelves (primarily in the Bering Sea) collide with high tides, the Earth's rotation is retarded. The slower spin of the Earth causes the Moon to edge farther from our planet.

From 1969 to 1972, the Apollo astronauts left a series of laser reflectors on the Moon's surface. Since then, scientists on Earth have been bouncing powerful lasers off these reflectors. By timing the round trip of each laser pulse, the Moon's distance can be measured to an accuracy of several inches. The Moon is receding from the Earth at the rate of about 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) a year.

As the Moon recedes from Earth, its apparent disk becomes smaller. Total eclipses become rarer; annular eclipses more frequent. Total eclipses are moving toward extinction. When the Moon's mean distance from the Earth has increased by 14,550 miles (23,410 kilometers), the Moon's apparent disk will be too small to cover the entire Sun, even when the Moon's elliptical orbit carries it closest to Earth. Total eclipses will no longer be possible.

How long will that take? With the Moon receding at 1.5 inches a year, the last total solar eclipse visible from the surface of the Earth will take place 620 million years from now. There is still time to catch one of these majestic events!
