“Schreuengthed” is the longest single-syllable word in English, with 13 letters.
Don’t believe anyone who tells you that “strengthed” is the longest single-syllable word — it has only 10 letters. (And people who think that “squirrelled” is the longest word with one syllable are insane: it obviously has 2 syllables.)
schreuengthed \'skro͞ongthd\ [from the proto-Germanic] verb : the past tense of schreuength.
