Bzzzzzzz! No entry found for honorificabilitudinity in the dictionary.Bzzzzzzz back! http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutwords/longestword "For example, the medieval Latin word honorificabilitudinitas (honourableness) was listed by some old dictionaries in the English form honorificabilitudinity (22 letters), but it has never really been in use."My all-time favorite poem, Barney McGee by Richard Hovey, uses that word. The poem unfortunately is not available on-line. I am tempted to recite ... But faldage, if you have any doubt, substitute a variant form, in the phrase honorificabilitudinitatibus earlobes -- and you'll get a tremendous giggle by checking the site which that one hits. Surely you would not dispute that word? [thanks, tsuwm!]

You did enjoy the hit, didn't you? You want nits? Nit right back atcha: must be verified VIA the dictionary.com website.In dictionary.com, list the dictionaries which that site countenances (by subclicking to "Web Directory", thence "References", and thence "Dictionaries"). Among them click to "vocabulary lists" and, from those lists, select "Grandiloquent Dictionary", in which you will find the word in question. [scratching nits -e ]

via the dictionary.com
That was from mav's rewriting. The googlewhack site itself says All words must appear on www.dictionary.com in order for your Googlewhacker to be valid. They got enough dictionaries on that site to choke a he hog. No, I think it's clear here that the intent of this rule is to exclude any words not found by entering them in the little box at the top of the page.

The googlewhack site itself says ... citation, please? Can't follow the newly-stated rules if I can't find them.
By the way, would a citation to a site be a "sitation"?
