Bookkeeper, bookkeeping, bookkeepers are three. There are other words that have hyphons in them that are considered by some to have three consecutive double letters. Some examples are deer-reeve, feed-door, and heel-footed. These words are not widely considered as having three consecutive double letters. The argument can be made to suport them however. Just thought I’d explain a little.

how about “aggressiveness”,”addressee”, “barrenness”, “Chattahoochee” (a river in northern Georgia), “heedlessness”, “committee”, and the great favourite “Mississippi”, but all this word playing looking for triple letters and triple doubles has led to my “sleeplessness”, but my “stubbornness” drives me ever on either “unsuccessfully” or “successfully” there’s a few triple doubles in that lot and triple letter words belllike crosssection godessship headonessship those are often hyphenated but triple letters none the less.theres lots of sesquipedalian words i adore too . enjoy..

Tattooee – Not a word
All the other examples are either misspelled (like “balloonning” which is actually ballooning) or not CONSECUTIVE which is what makes bookkeeper unique.
Obviously “Woolen” (with its double U) is a play on words and therefore invalid.

Wow reading these comments I realise there are so many people who don’t understand the question.
So many ppl don’t know what Consecutive means.
Words like committee and Mississippi yes have double letters in them but they are not consecutive as they have a vowel or another letter in the middle which breaks up the continuous double letters and that’s not what the question asked for.
Bookkeepers however is the perfect word example for showing three consecutive ( one after the other ) double letters and is exactly what the question asked for ❤️

Woolloomooloo
Woolloomooloo is a harbourside, inner-city eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Woolloomooloo is located 1.5 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Sydney.
The suburb is located in a low-lying, former docklands area at the head of Woolloomooloo Bay, on Sydney Harbour. The Domain sits to the west, the locality of East Sydney is near the south-west corner of the suburb and the locality of Kings Cross is near the south-east corner.
The suburb has historically been a poorer working class district of Sydney. This has changed only recently with recent gentrification of the inner city areas of Sydney. The redevelopment of the waterfront, particularly the construction of the housing development on the Finger Wharf, has caused major change. Areas of public housing (housing commission) still exist in the suburb.
