No, wizo, the letters are ic not in. Nice thought though
What about icicle or icy?
yeah, anything along those lines...ice was the first one i thought of and the shortest, so i figured it could be any form of
WELL DONE, liked it a lot
My first thought was icicle, then, like the guy who stayed up all night wondering where the sun had gone to, it dawned on me!
actually, it couldn't be icicle because the next word starts with ce.....silly me
I liked this one alot! good one!
I thought that, even though it said "word", there were supposed to be two words in between because of the double sets of dashes, so I'm thinking icon & once. Then I read it over again & realized you were only asking for one word. Yes, ice was the first word that came to mind. Good one.
well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for any confusion Pawz , should have clarified that a bit better. Sounds like you figured it out anyway with another answer though. Way to go!!
That was pretty neat and a cool refreshing end to puzzeling on Braingle today .. Good one!
I got it immediately!
Terrific teaser.
Terrific teaser.
That was a clever one! Nice job!
I thought it was a word with five letters, the instructions weren't very clear!
Actually, in every word combination other than this one it was the last two letters of the word prior to given word 'x' at the beginning of the next word, thus the word must be ice, no other word has ic at its beginning and ce at its end to my knowledge.
I needed the hint, and though I got ice immediately, I thought there ahd to be more. yet I still can't think of any begins with "ic" nds with "ce" words... if ice is the only answer, then this is superbly done.
Very very easy!!!
Hate to rain on your parade, but according to your rules, the correct word would be icce, not ice -- I figured it was ice though.
@ crazy10man: I hate to rain on YOUR parade, but the teaser is correct.
elastIC iCE cellar - fits the pattern.
Very clever! I usually avoid language teasers because, well, I suck at them. But I enjoyed this one (though I didn't get it), and maybe I'll start trying out the language category more often.

Apologize for the double post, but I just realized this is in the Series category... which I also normally avoid for the reason mentioned above.
I found it very easy, but I thought I was wrong because ice only has 3 letters and there seemed to be 4 dashes plus the question mark. Since I couldn't come up with a word of 5 letters or more, I figured ice was correct. Slightly confusing, but a good one. Thank You.
I loved it!
Just enough thinking involved!
I'd like to see more along this line!

I had my face an inch away from the screen and I figured it out! YAY! YAY ME! HEHEHE!
The others used 2 letters from each word, so I gave up. I thought of ice, but that seemed too short. (I always make things too complicated!)
I thought we needed 2 words, so I came up with icicle and lettuce.
Very good teaser. I was skeptical about "ice" being the answer, because it shares the "c," but the last word, "end" would have to share the "n" if the pattern continued (though I can't think of any words that start with "nd")
hard but fun
how about "icefacename " the locals name for Whiteface Mt in upstate NY
sorry for typo it's iceface
I enjoyed this puzzle again this time, too. Fun and just enough challenge! Thanks for posting!
Sorry, the dashes and ? were too confusing; I don't do confusing!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got the missing word very quickly and no hints needed. The hint gives it away though.
