Is indeed is a word with long e?

"Indeed" is not a word with a long "e" sound.

Here's why:

* The "e" in "indeed" is silent. It doesn't make the "ee" sound like in "see" or "tree."

* The "ee" sound in "indeed" comes from the "ee" in "de."

So, while "indeed" has an "e" in it, the sound of the "e" isn't long.
