Solution 1

def longestStrings(array):
    longestLength = 0
    result = []
    for word in array:
        if len(word) == longestLength:
            result.append(word)
        if len(word) > longestLength:
            longestLength = len(word)
            result = [word]
    return result

Solution 2

def longestStrings(array):
    longestLength = max(len(word) for word in array)
    result = [word for word in array if len(word) == longestLength]
    return result
