Words with suffixs -ed and -ing?

You're asking for words that have both the "-ed" and "-ing" suffixes. This is a bit tricky, because most words only have one suffix at a time. Here's why:

* -ed is usually used to form the past tense or past participle of a verb (e.g., walked, played, finished).

* -ing is typically used to form the present participle or gerund of a verb (e.g., walking, playing, finishing).

However, there are a few exceptions where a word can have both suffixes, but it's usually not a common structure:

* Compound words: You might find words like "bed-ridden" or "snow-covered" where "-ed" is part of the first word and "-ing" is part of the second word.

* Phrases: "Having" can be used as a prefix to form phrases like "having said that", "having been there", etc.

Example of a word with both suffixes:

* Having finished (using "having" as a prefix)

Ultimately, it's rare to find a single word with both "-ed" and "-ing" suffixes.
