Message	the word i found was "squirreled" not "squirrelled" and it has ten letters and it is described as this -- transitive verb (past squir·reled, . . . which means it has two syllables so it doesn’t count in whichever which way. so yeah.

Message	squirrelled is in there as well...there are two spellings. It’s actually within the variances on the word squirrel, so it’s not its own entry in the dictionary.

Message	Sorry ’bout the website, SD. That’s what was in the address bar when I was looking at the definition. And, of course, you know everything, so because you don’t know the meaning, the word doesn’t exist. marysunshine managed to find it in three different dictionaries. Funny, but I think I’ll take a lexicographer’s word about it over yours. mae

Message	I still have a question: What the hell does "scritched" mean????

Message	There are two spellings of squirrelled...squirrelled and squirreled. Funk and Wagnals, Oxford, and Webster dictionaries designate squirrel as a two syllable word...although in most dialects it is pronounced as one...so I’d say that you have a case for squirrelled, but it’s a little shaky. The answer that is indesputable would be scraunched with ten.

Message	the thing you gave me was an IQ test thing -- it didn’t have anything to do with squirrels. i don’t think "squirrelled" is a word and even if it was -- it has two syllables therefore it doesn’t count.

Message	And, yeah, sunshine, it’s all your fault. Whatever, "it" is. It must be your fault. It certainly isn’t mine. It must be yours...yeah,...yours. mae

Message	"squirrelled" is a word. Go to http://view.atdmt.com/MON/view/lxcpbtic0030000170mon/direct/01/ and you’ll find the definition. You do say "squirrel away", but squirrelled is the past tense. mae

Message	i couldn’t find the meaning of the word "squirrelled" . . . so i’m not sure if it is even a word. i think you’re supposed to say "squirrel away" or something. plus i think it has two syllables . . . .

Message	You know, I think "squirreled" is 2 syllables. Could just be me clapping the syllables wrong tho.

Message	Wow, everyone’s gettin all bent out of shape about the looking it up thing...sorry I brought it up... I’m proud to say that my entry of "strengths" came out of my own head. I’m not asking for a cookie, I’m just sayin’. I am in no way superior to those who used the look up method...

Message	Yeah, I know, I would have called that two syllables, but it was listed as one-syllable on Answers.com. (Why does it have to come out of our own head? Does it say that in the topic? No-o-o.) mae

Message	How about "squirrelled" ( as in "he squirrelled away his savings") which has 11 letters? mae

Message	i didn’t know the word had to come out of your own head. and i’d prefer a cookie over getting my balls busted . . . but then again you are pretty pretty . . . ok bust my balls, it’s cool -- but please be gentle.

Message	Way to look it up Solomon...are you also going to tell us that the first place it occured in literature was the 1620 English translation of Don Quixote? I looked it up to, but didn’t post since it didn’t come out of my own head. Had to bust your balls there...no cookie...
