The dictionary lists syllables with little ·'s, for example:

ca·tas·tro·phe (4 syllables)
com·put·er (3 syllables)
ham·mer (2 syllables)
...and so forth.

It's listing for open:
open (1 syllable)

Thus, it is 7.

Hmm, strange. I never really saw "open" as one syllable though I suppose it could work...those crazy dictionaries...

EDIT: When I looked at dictionary.com they had it listed as "o·pen" as in 2 syllables, so I dunno...
