Is it a trick question?

We are having a problem in class.
Can anyone help with a word that uses R, E, W, O, O, N, D ? All letters used only once! quick response if possible...

I'd like to help but my mind doesn't work that way. Maybe some of the other guys will check in.

How about "OVERWOUND"

No... Use only the given letters once...

Am I understanding the question properly?

Is the answer a 7-letter word that's an anagram of the given letters, or is it a longer word that contains those letters and at least one more?

One anagram of the letters (see my post below) is ONE WORD. If the question arose in a context involving verbal tricks, maybe that's the answer.
