What is the longest word that only has a short vowel sound?

This is a tricky one! There isn't a universally agreed upon "longest word" with only short vowel sounds because it depends on how you define "short vowel sound".

Here's the problem:

* Vowel sounds can be tricky: Some vowels have both long and short sounds (like the "a" in "cat" vs. "cake").

* Diphthongs: Words can have vowel sounds that are combinations of two vowel sounds (like "oi" in "coin" or "ou" in "house").

However, here's an example of a long word that seems to only use "short" vowel sounds, using the most common pronunciation:

* " S t r u c t u r e s "

This word has short vowel sounds, but it's important to remember that the pronunciation of "u" in words like "structure" is debated.

If you want to play around with this, you could try these:

* " P r o g r a m s " (The "o" here is tricky, sometimes a bit longer)

* " C r o s s w o r d s "
