From Wikipedia.

The longest single-word instance in English is probably
stratagem / mega tarts, which consists of nine letters.

There are many examples containing eight letters, such as:

stressed / desserts - samaroid (resembling a samara) / dioramas

rewarder / redrawer

departer / retraped (construction based on the fact that verb
trape is recorded as an alternative spelling of traipse[18])

reporter / retroper (construction based on the fact that trope
is recorded as a verb, meaning "to furnish with tropes"[18])

Other examples include:

gateman / nametag - deliver / reviled - straw / warts
star / rats - stop / pots - snap / pans
lived / devil - live / evil - diaper / repaid
smart / trams - spit / tips - dog / god
gut / tug - maps / spam - war / raw
