ANSWER TO RIDDLE
In the description 'unabridged dictionary' it is a tie between "unabridged" and "dictionary", both of which have 10 letters.
DICTIONARY ANSWER(S) TO QUESTION
There are many contenders for the title 'longest word.'
If we restrict the answer to words found in English dictionaries, the following are often suggested:
- pneumono ultra microscopic silico volcano coniosis (written without the gaps. 45 letters)
- supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (34 letters)
- floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters)
- antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters)
There are also other long words, including some long medical/chemical/scientific terms. But many of these are disputed as being 'words' given that they are simply lists of chemical descriptors which have been joined together to make one big word.
Additionally there are long place names, which tend not to be included in dictionaries, (except in dictionaries of place names, of course!)
If we were to include long words found in other languages, then our list of longest words would be much longer.
