POSSIBLE ANSWERS: Six-letter words that meet the requirement include booboo, deeded, and muumuu. Some dictionaries hyphenate “booboo” and “muumuu” while others do not. So we’ll say that deeded is the “best” word we can find. Can you do better?

I can’t do better, but I can do worse!
Sesses: the plural of an alternate spelling of cess, an archaic word meaning either luck or a tax, depending on the dictionary. I use this word several times a day.

Couldn’t do better than that, and couldn’t think of anything else, though I never use any of these words.
