That's a tough one. I know "NEWS" but it's obviously not in consecutive order. Also "SEWN." There is Never Eat Shredded Wheat, but it's not just one word. Good luck on finding what you need.

well, for what it's worth, this contains the letters, not consecutively, but in the order that they are actually written.......
