antidisestablishmentarianism is usually the longest non-coined and non-technical word in dictionaries, except some dictionaries don't include it because it only comes up during trivia

My husband would always say this word when I asked him what the biggest word in the world was. He was pretty smart.

It's actually the word SMILES, since there's a mile between each S. 😊

Austine, it depends on how big the size of the word is, like on the phone screen the distance between the two Ss is like 1 or 2 cm. but if you put it on a billboard it might be like 50meters

Player #47607311 & Katt, Actually, we do not agree. The word is within the "English Language." Almost all words in the English Language are rooted in, and from other languages.
