wheeled

I've always felt that words like fired or yield have one-and-a-half syllables, but perhaps it's just something special about approximant consonants (e.g., l, r). Nobody has trouble saying that words which end in a stop, like fight, or a fricative, like strives, are monosyllabic. (This is in Standard US English.) But as soon as you look at something like fire all certitude goes out the window.

Ceci n'est pas un seing.
