Find the longest word which can be spelled with the second letters of a group words in alphabetical order. An example with incomprehensible (16 letters):
a
im
answer
eccentric
fold
implore
ipsilateral
iridium
jester
khaki
leg
one
ostrich
pig
ubiquitous
ulterior
vendetta
In the case of a tie, the winner is the solution whose last word (here, vendetta) comes first in alphabetical order.
Checking a dictionary for words (online or offline) is fine, but no programming or other automated solutions. May the best human win!
