Some cool ones from Wikipedia.

The longest single-word English examples contain eight letters:

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)[23]
reporter / retroper (construction based on the fact that trope is recorded as a verb, meaning "to furnish with tropes")[23]
