I couldn't resist arising from lurkerhood to refute you on this. There are actually 24 other words I found with this property that equal "almost" in length. I will abstain from listing them.

However, I did find one word longer than "almost":

I will now rest my tired eyes, as they need it after much diligent reading of the dictionary.
