Analysis: I picked the wrong F the first time. Conclusion: F-F-something
Further anaylsis: --------G--- is the only letter in common between guesses 1 and 2. Conclusion: -----NDOG--- or ------DOGL-- or -------OGLU- or (most likely) --------GLUE
Putting them together: F-F----GLUE. The first - is not E.
Guess 3: FIFGRONDGLUE
Kinda detracts from the conclusion that GLUE was right, unless you meant and forgot neglected to say that it's a string in the wrong place.

Okay, I see what I did wrong. I got confused between the Fs being 3rd and 4th in the original and 4th and 5th in my first guess. But do you really think Adam and Eve had fig frond glue in the garden?

Mastagoruecria - the regret that comes from committing ones mouth to eating something in polite company, that it decides it either doesn't like, or can't properly contain without some of it protruding
Margareastucio - (pronounced mar garree uh stuck ee oh) style of architecture where the corners and edges of ceilings are adorned with ornate curly bits of wood and stuff
Margaticaesour - little known Roman emperor who attempted to establish a new Rome on the site of modern day Margate, but failed really quite quickly.

You seem to also like having an A after the M. Good instinct.
In regard only to these four guesses:
1. two
2. six, all together that's a big fat hint if ever there was one
3. nine, not all together
4. five, two pairs and a single
There are four letters that are not correct in any of these guesses.
When you figure it out, you may think you want a large, fruity drink, but the actual definition has nothing to do with such. Then you'll really want one.

As I have now eliminated all possible words in the dictionary, including Magratecarious and Magtareracious, David ... *shrug eyes despondently onto windowledge* I'm left with only Margaretacious*, which I am now going to insist is the word you jumbled up what feels like several incarnations ago when I was a mollusc - and not what I am now - a vaguely chicken-flavoured primordial soup.
You may argue this point with me if you wish, but I suspect my response will be something along the lines of: I don't care what word you think you jumbled... Margaretacious* is all you're getting *flick eyes off windowledge and onto pavement outside*
Yes *hurl rest of anniet after them*
I hope that's okaaay...?
* To tenaciously insist on clinging to office when you're not wanted because you've got so out of touch on power you've gone stark raving mad, only to get replaced by something even more depraved by its attraction to splayed madam salmonellas on prime ministerial desks.
...having said all that, and looking at what you just said, it's not impossible the word is Margaritaceous I suppose...
interesting...
