Omg. Not the one I've got. But yes.
another?

[auntflo]

straights?

[pixie373]

Yes, there are a few. This says Schweppes (although not sure if in dictionary). I should maybe have given you BA- you got 10 letters in yours!

[Graham-W]

Screeched?
Scrounged?

[auntflo]

oops, sorry about that!

[Graham-W]

Squirrelled has 11 letters.

[pixie373]

Ah. There are a few, then.

[Gizmonster]

.... and is also 2 syllables ....

[Gizmonster]

I mean squirrelled is 2 syllables .....

[Graham-W]

Ooops. Counted the letters. Ignored the syllables. Must try harder.

[pixie373]

...depends how drunk you are. It's one syllable if you slur a bit...

[Gizmonster]

Lol - that deserves BA pixie :)

[pixie373]

From Wiktionary: Pronunciation, (UK) IPA(key): /ˈskwɪ.ɹəld/, /skwɜːld/
Squirrelled has the longest spelling (11 letters) of any standard English word with one syllable. This spelling is not typically used in North America, where squirreled (10 letters) is used instead. Neither word is universally one syllable, as many accents pronounce it with two syllables.

[pixie373]

Really? One syllable sober?

[DTCwordfan]

Go for onomatopoeia, pixie. Yann Martel's 1995 novel "Self" includes a 45-letter Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - and then a 35-letter Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
