The correct answer is

14

Arranging HARMFUL alphabetically gives A, F, H, L, M, R, U.

The second letter from the left is F, and the first letter from the right is U.

Letters strictly between F and U in the alphabet: G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T — a total of 14 letters.

Hence, there are 14 letters between the two identified letters.
