* Dictionaries vary: Different dictionaries have different word lists and inclusion criteria.
* "Largest" can be ambiguous: Do we mean the word with the most letters, or the word that takes up the most space on the page?
However, a common answer to this riddle is "floccinaucinihilipilification." It's a long word meaning "the act of estimating something as worthless."
While it's not the *actual* second largest word in any dictionary, it's a fun and memorable answer!
