Not that I want to get nit picky on a topic that pretty much run it's

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.)"

LOL well apparently, whoever wrote that was smoking pot (but not inhaling much)
