Not that I want to get nit picky on a topic that pretty much run it's
course... But I will. :-)
The table at the bottom of that page is a quiz, "strength" is the 4th
question in the quiz. If you follow the answers link you will see that
"strength" is a 1 syllable word according to this site too.

"1 -- strengths (This is the most complex monosyllabic word in English!
It has three consonants before the vowel and four consonants after it.)"
