How many such pairs of letters are there in the word SEARCHES each of which has

as many letters between them in the word as in the English alphabet?

The answer is three.ARC is same as in ABC in alphabet and so CHE as in CDE in al
phabet and ARCHE as in ABCDE.If you have a better answer for this,let me know

tart with the P and start reciting the alphabet from P on.
For each letter you name, land your finger on a letter in the word.
If the letter you SAY matches the letter you are touching, then you have fulfill
ed the stipulation,
Example:
P
Q (the second letter is not Q)
R (the third letter is not R)
S (the 4th letter is not S)
T (the fifth letter is not T)
U (the 6th letter is not U)
V (the seventh letter is not V)
But here is a case where the stipulation is fulfilled: the letter C and the lett
er E
Start at C
Then recite the alphabet (D, E, F, etc) saying one letter from the alphabet for
each letter in the word.
When you come to the letter E in the word, you are saying the letter E from the
alphabet.
That is because there are as many letters between C and E in the alphabet (exact
ly one letter is between them, the letter D) as there are letters between C and
E in the word "PACKET" (namely, there is exactly one letter between C and E in t
he word "Packet" -- it is the letter K
