Interested to hear what you think.

    This is kind of blowing my mind that a word that long is only one syllable

      I see you’re unfamiliar with the alternate spelling, skwerl.

        Or the alternate spelling in our house so we don’t send the dog through the window: werl sounds like whirl

      Always appreciated the levels of drawl it takes to squeeze this into one.

        Funny, I drawl it into one syllable, but I read it as two. Didn’t understand how it fit the rule.
