qroqqa commented on the list longest-single-syllable-word-in-english
Not present-day English, but one of the pronunciations of 'brougham' the carriage was bru:m (homophone of 'broom'), so 'broughams' was a 9-letter monosyllable for some 19th-century speakers. (The alleged verb *'broughammed' would be longer if it existed outside word-coining games.)
