Strengths, twelfths or screeched.
Strengths and screeched: Both start with three phones. Have one vowel. Both end in three phones. Twelfths: Starts with two phones. Has one vowel. Ends in four phones.
All three are equally long.

"Should" is my guess. But a single instance of a 10 letter one syllable word was found in 1620 in an English translation of Don Quixote . Oh, the word is "Scrauched"
