Good one Jay-qu.............next:

 

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 orginal word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?

[Neomis]

Before Mt. Everest was discovered, what was the tallest mountain in the world?

 

Mt. Everest of course. Unless you include the landmass that extends underwater. In which case the answer is Mauna Kea of Hawaii. :shrug:

That's right Neomis. Mt. Everest was the tallest mountain in the world, even before we discovered it! :shrug:

How about a hint?

The original 9 letter word starts with an S.

[Jay-qu]

working backwards I can tell you it must have an I or an A because they are the only 1letter words I can think of

- 2 letter words with I and A are: at, it, is, as, an am Im (ah?)

probably more.. then once you go to 3 letters it balloons out.

I find myself at the same wall with this one Jay-qu...

 

I or A as the final... S as the first letter in the 9 group.

 

Infy:

I'm guessing ANY letter can be removed, not just the front or back, but also anywhere in the middle? This one is Boggling... :beer:

Right your are Infy2, any letter and not in any particular order.

 

Another hint: The letter S remains in all but the last two words. Good luck..........................Infy1

Before I take off on my planned vacation, I thought it only fair to reveal the solution to my last riddle;

 

Startling, starting, staring, string, sting, sing, sin, in, and I

 

Didn't want anyone to burnout trying to solve this one................Infy
