In a recent 7-by-many puzzle, 'foreswear' was accepted as a word with all the letters — but even the OED doesn't list this as a word. The closest it lists is
forswear
.

There are other dictionaries besides the OED, of course.
The Free Dictionary
has
foreswear
as a variant of
forswear
, listing its sources as
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language
and
Collins English Dictionary – Complete and Unabridged
. These are online sources, but my hard copy Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary from 1996 also lists
foreswear
.
