Uhm.

I might be missing something, but when I say it out loud I only get 6. I'm not sure which word I'm not stressing either.

    It's never and said that seem to be the identical meaning to me.

    Some context might provide the distinction.

    • Adam: "Jane told me that he licked her asshole."

      • Jane: "I never said he licked my asshole." <-- He never licked my asshole, and I never claimed that he did. Adam is lying about both parts.
      • Jane: "I never said he licked my asshole." <-- He licked my asshole, but I never told anyone that he did. Adam learned about the asshole-licking from someone other than me.

    Stressing each word gives a different meaning to the sentence and considering that there are 7 words, it means there are possible 7 meanings if you stress one word.
