Anonymous— The second letter is an 'i' as in 'India'. But never mind: another guess warrants another letter, again chosen at random.

_ i _ _ _ _ _ c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Anonymous— Why not match up the letters when there are actual seventeen-letter words that match? You could have tried disfranchisements,
microencapsulated, or microencapsulates, to name three.

Anyway, here's another letter, chosen at random.

_ i _ _ c _ _ c _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Laura— Holy moly! You got it right! I figured this answer would need several more letters before anyone would get it.

Details. You are lucky that I found seventeen letter words to guess.
Activating random letters for Laura to get it. She wins, I win.
