heres a tough one:

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

that is a tough one

my first thought is the word must start with IN and end in Y

I figure starting with IN gives me I as the singel letter and IN as the next to last word. am i on the right track?

As i type, maybe it's AS? good grief


and now i am using the word good grief. This riddle has turned me into Charlie brown, thanks a lot....

stupid riddles....

sorry TIB

i was gonna save this one for tonight and let everyone work on it over night....

heres a hint: last letter that is a word is "I"..im sure it doesnt help much, but at least you can weed some words out...keep in mind that the letter "I" is in the middle of the word somewhere

best of luck on it

OK so

I think what we have is a word ending in

ING

because toy said I was on the right track, and a lot of big words end in ING!

SO we have

S.....ING OR

T....ING
