The funny thing is the question is actively harmful to real world problem solving. If I had to write a feature where passwords could not repeat any character the spec would spend a lot more than 1 word explaining that (and why there is that weird restriction in the first place). Assuming they wanted such a system based upon a single word would be a bizarre conclusion to jump to.

Yeah if this were a Software Engineering test the correct answer to the question would be: ”First I would ask the client why they needed this. If they didn't have a good answer I would advise them not to do it. If they still want it anyway: 720.”
