"incurable" – it's the only word in the list in which no letters are repeated.

Scott Cram,
Nice job. The author, Pat Battaglia, like your answer too. Now there is one more word in this list that is different for the rest for another reason. ~John |

Wouldn't it be invaluable? All the other words mean the opposite of their function with "in" is place in the front.
When something is valuable it doesn't become NOT valuable when it is invaluable... it actually is MORE valuable. I hope that makes sense. Greg

BTW, my alternative answer is wrong – inactive also has no repeated letters.

I was wrong about being wrong - the letter I appears twice in inactive!

I guess two wrongs do make a right.
