Pijijiapan, Mexico has 5 of them.
There’s Qum, the city in Iran, though I think nowadays it’s more commonly spelled Qom.
And u. But that requires mixing languages.
Abecadarian. In alphabetic order. Or: as easy as A B C. Too bad about the “e” near the beginning. The “d” is just a fluke of formation, I think.
In teaching Computer Science, at times I mentioned work by Leslie Goldschlager. 6 consonants in a row.
Abecedario is Spanish for alphabet, Catalan has* l’abecedari* as well (as far as a cursory google shows me, other Romance languages may have a cognate but it’s not commonly used). The first three letters are called* a, be, ce*; next is de, but its vowel gets slammed by the* a* of the suffix.
Whenever English imported the word, it updated the suffix but didn’t adapt the pronunciation to match your own names for letters.
My favorite obsolete word is “hurple” meaning to raise one’s shoulders to one’s ears in response to cold or fear. Not only does it describe an action there is no other word for, but it rhymes with “purple.”
And when I hurple
My lips turn purple.
In Dutch, fairies is feeën with a nice triple “e” combo (and the umlaut is the icing on the cake).
Bulbous bouffant.
Dreamt - the only word in English ending in “mt” besides its own variants, “undreamt” and “redreamt.”

The word “repetitive” is kind of repetitive. It has the two e’s near the beginning and the repeated ti’s.
Is it true no English word rhymes with orange?
I like Madagascar. All those hard consonants separated by a short a. It really does just trip off the tongue.
This word often makes me smile when I hear it, and I enjoy using it in a sentence in a humorous way: discombobulated.
Re-entered or Reentered.
The first three "e"s have a different sound, the last “e” is silent.
Even odder is that purple and silver also have no rhymes and all three can be used as color names.
Personally, I like Oconomowoc. Every other letter is an O. Five of them.
Excuse me?
C’mon, obsolete words and such that very, very few people know about don’t count. How many top 40 songs are there with “hurple” in them.
You stated “purple has no rhymes.” It doesn’t have any common word rhymes, but “hurple” is a word and does qualify.
Schrobsdorff is a Time magazine journalist, 10 consonants and two same vowels
