This is the LONGEST three-way Word Jumble that I can find.
There are longer Word Jumbles that I am aware of, but they are only two-way combinations. Here are some examples:
16-letters:
INTERNATIONALISM / INTERLAMINATIONS
THERMONASTICALLY / HEMATOCRYSTALLIN
17-letters:
BASIPARACHROMATIN / MARSIPOBRANCHIATA
18-letters:
CONSERVATIONALISTS / CONVERSATIONALISTS
19-letters:
REPRESENTATIONALISM / MISREPRESENTATIONAL
And the big daddy of them all...
27-letters:
HYDROXYDESOXYCORTICOSTERONE / HYDROXYDEOXYCORTICOSTERONES
Enjoy them all, and impress your friends!
I'm interested in ANY 10-letter examples that you can find.
the best examples of 10-letter Word Jumbles that I can find are:
3 from 10 - all in MWUD:
mediatress, sidestream, streamside

Another 7 from 8:

Another 7 from 8:

But my favourite has to be...
10 from 8:
anestric, canister, ceratins, certains, cestrian, cisterna, nacrites, nectrias, scantier, tacrines
However, the best I can do with an 8-letter word is...
