You can't be right. It makes no sense.

I’d imagine most free is actually the proper usage.

It’s “freer”. Why would it be “freeest”?

Evelyn Waugh said that if the correct usage of a word confounds the reader one should seek another word.

There are plenty of words with four vowels in a row, like gooiest. Maybe another few dozen.

Then there's queueing which has five. Many more have five.

But euouae has the most of all.

I'm thinking OP probably meant all the same vowel.

R33, yes: 10-letter words such as syndactyly and xyloglyphy. Or take your vacation in Kyrgyzstan.

It is spelled "freest." The reason is that one syllable words take est in the superlative, but if there is already an "e" as at the final letter, an additional "e" is not added. Only an "st" is affixed to the end of the word.
