The longest word in any major English language dictionary is
pneu mono Âult raÂmi croÂs copi cÂsil icoÂv olca noÂco niosis
Note I spaced the word after every 4 letters cos this site doesn't let me put it all in at once
, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of volcanic ash, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim.

The one most commonly cited is screeched (nine letters). However, one ought to mention also scratched, scrounged, scrunched, stretched, and the plural nouns straights and strengths (all with nine letters).
The complete Oxford English Dictionary also indicates the existence of scraughed, scrinched, scritched, scrooched, sprainged, spreathed, throughed, and thrutched.
The OED also cites a single instance of the ten-letter word scraunched, from the 1620 English translation of Don Quixote.
