Interested to hear what you think.

    Scrunched

    Longest syllable I can think of, rather ironic

      I think ‘scrunched’ is the longest one I’ve seen in this post, I can’t think of a longer one.

      In a similar vein, it feels really wrong that ‘abbreviate’ is such a long word.

        If people pronounce squirrel as one syllable, then I guess squirreled could be as well, but it’s not in my dialect.
