What if the mightiest word is synteresis?
What if the mightiest word is metempsychosis?
What if the mightiest word is polychromatic?
What if the mightiest word is oxidize?
What if the mightiest word is hebetude?
What if the mightiest word is fluoridation?
What if the mightiest word is aardvark?
What if the mightiest word is dysentery?
What if the mightiest word is glue?
What if the mightiest word is zygomatic?
What if the mightiest word is antepenultimate?
What if the mightiest word is anapestic?

And last but not least...

What if the mightiest word is trite?
