A reader of this site wonders:
"Is there an 8 letter word with 1 vowel in the fourth position?"
In the English language, there is such a word, but it's not the longest word in the language with only one vowel. There is a nine letter word with only one vowel. To be fair, though, the eight letter word is a root of the nine letter word.

If you're not having any luck thinking of the word, maybe you need to strengthen your vocabulary.
I'd suggest reading a big book, like the Oxford Unabridged Dictionary, although you might find you're not strong enough to lift it.
Well I found I did have the "strength" to lift the book and find the word!
Good one, with a great clue that made it FUN, Erik !
i think it might be indivisibility, anyone got a better one???
"Indivisibility" has 7 vowels. Six of them are I's and one is a Y.
the y isn't a vowel in indivisibility. strengths. nine letters, one vowel
'indivisibility' hahahahahahahahahaha
if using the same vowel numerous times is a possibility the longest word is actually
"strengthlessness"
16 letters. 1 vowel (used 3 times)
The word is "strengths". Add the "s" to the end and it's a 9-letter word.
STYLISTS - 8
TRIPTYCHS - 9
SCRATCHY - 8
RHYTHMIC - 8
RHYTHMIST - 9
RHYTHMISTS - 10 BEAT THAT
schlongs 9
no y's which are being used as vowels in many of those words
strengths is a nine letter word w/ only vowel.
SPRIGHTLY - 9
