Oops...
I should have clarified this.

The word cannot be a plural (ending in 's') or be an extention of a 'root' word, such as the past tense suffix '-ed '.

The root word of "scraunched" is 'scraunch'.
And, yes, 'scraunch' has 8 letters.
But no, 'scraunch' isn't a word.
(It may be an accurate localized dialectal pronunciation of the word 'scrunch', though.)

Besides...what does 'scrunched' have to do with a forest?
(Never mind. Don't answer that !!


Here's another clue :

The last letter in this word is 'L'.
