Here is what GPT 4 says:
Me: What is the longest 5-letter word?
ChatGPT:
The concept of the "longest" 5-letter word can be interpreted in two ways:
If "longest" refers to the physical length of the word (how it is pronounced), then it can vary based on different accents and languages. However, in English, five-letter words with a large number of syllables such as "queue" or "eerie" might be considered.
If "longest" refers to the word with the most definitions or uses, it's hard to definitively state which 5-letter word that would be, but "round" and "sound" are examples of five-letter words with a large number of definitions and uses.
It's also important to note that in English, all 5-letter words contain the same number of letters and would, therefore, have the same length if written in the same font and size.
Lol
ChatGPT doesn't know about variable width
