The longest word is a part of the Countdown TV program, whose purpose is to find the longest word by using only some selected letters (e.g. to rearrange letters in order to make a word from letters).
There are many letter games whose purpose is to make a word from letters (Scrabble, Wordox, Words with Friends, etc.). Most are similar to the longest word game, and if the goal is to use all jumbled letters, it is an anagram.
In the original rules, a word list (dictionary reference) tells which word is an accepted solution or not (no proper noun). The program here is not limited and allows all kind of words, including conjugated verbs and sometimes some proper nouns.
In its original version, the player has to try to make an anagram of the letters, or remove some of them to get the longest/biggest word possible.
Example: ABCDEFGHIJ gives JIGHEAD (7 letters)
There are variants where letters can be used multiple times (repeating letters).
Example: ABCDEFGHIJ giving CHIFFCHAFF (10 letters)
It is also possible to search a word without scrambling the letters
Example: ABCDEFGHIJ allows A_C____HI_ (ACHI) (4 letters)
Finally, it is possible to mix the two options
Example: ABCDEFGHIJ gives BEEF (4 letters)

In 1965, in a French TV Show by Armand Jammot, completed in 1972 by countdown numbers rounds. However, the idea of forming words from given letters goes much further back in time.
Use tools like random letter selector to generate a game.
The longest word varies according to the dictionary used:
— PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS, but technical
— HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA, a word that has been created to describe the fear of long words.
— ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM, found in all major dictionaries
NB: Logolepsy is the name given to word addiction.
The longest molecule (protein) in the world known to date is Titin C169719H270466N45688O52238S911. Like all molecules it has a name described by the nomenclature of organic compounds (IUPAC) and in this standard, the titan protein is written with 189819 letters: METHIONYLTHREONYLTHREONYLGLUTAMINYLARGINYLTYROSYLGLUTAMYLSERYLLEUCYLPHENYL…GLUTAMINYLSERXISOLEUCINE (this is the longest word in the world, all languages combined, although it is absent from the majority of dictionaries)
