Which 9 Letter Word.............

[The Beard]

Apologies if this has been posted before.

 

Which 9 letter word can have 1 letter removed at a time and still create a word, right down to the last letter.

 

And again apologies if done before.

 

Complete the sentence with the same 7 letters in sequence, creating a legible sentence:

 

" The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ doctor was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to perform the operation because he had

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ "

Well done, to Kohen and Marco. Kohen has the second one and Marco has the first. That spoiler is a good invention. I presume as I set the question only I can see the answers that they have provided?

[marcopaulo]

nope anyone can press the spoiler and pretend they got it themselves but that's upto them

Oh! right, still a good idea though. Should sort out the those who like some lateral thinking.
