Got this in an e-mail from a friend today...I'm sorry if you've seen it already.
What common English word is 9 letters long, and each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word...from 9 letters all the way down to a single remaining letter?
I'll check back to see if anyone got it or to give the answer. Shoot, for all I know, there's more than one answer!
Riddle
It wasn't presented in quite the same way on Car Talk, but there are five different answers nine letters long on their website. (Three begin with "s") They also have one ten-letter word and one eleven-letter word, although the eleven-letter word is not a common one.
You can find all these in the answer to the puzzler for Dec 25.
