One Syllable? As many letters as possible?

*no words like boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom etc.

one of my eights: sleuthed

I'm sure it's possible to go higher. Any ideas atot?

 

[loup garou]

scratched, screeched, scrounged, squelched, straights, and strengths. Google FTW!

 

[randumb]

Scraunched and the archaic word strengthed, each ten letters long, are the longest English words that are only one syllable long.

I'm sure in different dialects, it could be said differenly.

For example:
I say blessed as bless-ed, where others may say it in one sylable.

You are incorrect. Strengthed is a word.

On the other hand, I cannot find 'scraunched' in the dictionary.

Squirreled, however, is also 10 letters, and monosyllabic.

tr.v. squir·reled, or squir·relled squir·rel·ing, or squir·rel·ling squir·rels or squir·rels
To hide or store: squirreled away her money.

Looks like two syllables to me.

You aren't looking hard enough, then. That link gives two pronunciations of "squirrel", one is monosyllabic, the other is disyllabic. The ending 'ed' is not a syllable of its own, unless you pronounce it as some pronounce 'blessed'.

You aren't reading the pronunciation key correctly. Neither of the two pronunciation are monosyllabic.

Both of the given pronunciation are disyllabic. You are reading the pronunciation key wrong.

I love keepin it real with monosyllabic words.

Most of the time when I'm explainen sh*t to my peeps, I gotta tell them, "hey, you dig?". Otherwise, they'll start counting on their fingersm mumbling "un-dur-stand?"
