I may now retire from puzzling …

I just got the NYT Letterboxed in ONE. Without a single letter repeated. And what a word to get it with. Should I now retire to a mountaintop temple and devote the rest of my days to meditation?

I actually did this too! Well, almost. I tried lexicographical first, but it left me with Y. So I tried again and bingo!

I just stumbled upon the word, after getting the puzzle previously with three other words, then I started noodling with -GRAPH, -GRAPHY, -GRAPHIC, etc. words — then there it was. I must say, I wasn’t even sure that LEXICOGRAPHY is a word!
