Best I can find is the six letter word: zythum. &nbsp;Maybe someone can find something shorter.

This may not be the solution you are looking for if you want words that are over 100. &nbsp;This solution from a few years ago here provided many words that equal 100.<br />

lol, Rich <br />
<br />
considering the audience ... Trusty = 123

<div>
6 letters=127: syzygy<br />
(High value, not as short as the 5-letter examples, though.)
</div>


<div>
Hey, Is ok distribute the points, but more points for the correct answer!!! Read what the question is. The shortest word over 100. The shortest one is just 5 letters, and its highest value is 106.... TIZZY
</div>


<div>
(1) Wussy = 107 (unless you want to get into whether XYZZY meets the qualifications for a word. :-) )<br />
(2) Unless the original requester wishes to close the question, please go ahead and close. &nbsp;I tried to distribute across all words that were five letters greater than 100 points. &nbsp;The point value distributions were automagically chosen.

<div>
Actually Rich is close with XYZZY. &nbsp;There is actually a road in California called Zzyzx off interstate 15. &nbsp;<br />
