What word am I thinking of?

[Lincolnshirelass]

I am suitably impressed!

A - - - A N - E -

[Dolor]

Now, I feel unsure if this letter is in your word.

Let me try letter C.

[Lincolnshirelass]

Direct hit again!
A - C - A - N - E -

[Dolor]

Direct hit again!
A - C - A - N - E -

Do you really mean 9-letter word? This looks like 10.

Is there a letter R?

[Lincolnshirelass]

You are quite right, entirely my bad!!! On day I'll learn to count

And another correct guess, to give us
ARC - AN -E -

[Dolor]

Archangel - is this the right word?

[Lincolnshirelass]

It is, indeed, thought it was a nice seasonal one! Well played!

[Dolor]

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm thinking of a thirteen-letter word. Can you guess what it is?

[Lincolnshirelass]

Dear Dolor, be nice to me,
and tell me if it has an 'E'!

[Dolor]

E is the 12th letter of the word I am thinking of.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E_

[Gravy]

I'm going to guess a 'C'?

[Dolor]

C is the 8th letter of the word I am thinking of.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ C_ _ E_

[kandscreeley]

How about an h?

[Dolor]

H is the 4th letter of the word I am thinking of.

_ _ _ H _ _ _ _ C_ _ E_

[kandscreeley]

L?.....
