What 9 letter word, in the English language, is able to form a new word, every time a letter is removed.
The remaining letters stay in the same order throughout this puzzle.
Example is below
SPINE
PINE
PIN
IN
I
Please, no cheating or asking Google. Just have a think and stir up the old grey matter.
Haha! It reminds me of the 'growing rhymes' (groeirijm) coined by the Dutch singer Drs P. The rhyming word will grow with a letter each line. And the rhyme has to be witty. One of his examples (g and ch sound alike in Dutch):
Een oude schipper staart voor zich uit / met een hartverscheurend: "Oef"
Hij gaat langzaam te gronde in zijn kajuit / of zoals hij het noemt: "de roef"
Steeds denkt hij weer aan zijn jonge bruid / en de dag dat hij haar begroef
Nadat zij, op zoek naar scheepsbeschuit / beland was in de schroef...
An old skipper is staring ahead / uttering a heartbreaking: "Whew"
He slowly languishes in his cabin / or as he calls it: the deckhouse
He constantly thinks of his young bride / and the day he buried her
After she, in search of pilot bread / got tangled in the propeller...
But I can't solve your puzzle as my native tongue is not English.
The word may not start with 'a' or 'i', but obviously has to be part of the word, as those are the only two letters that are a word, even as a single letter.
Alright !
I'm taking a second guess with some interjections :
Ahahahaha
Hahahaha
Ahahaha
Hahaha
Ahaha
Haha
Aha
Ha
A
Could we use our brain to create a programm that uses a bruteforce method on an english dictionary ?
I'm like ArnoV ; English is not my mother tongue so it's kinda hard to figure out those words if I don't know some them
Cynos,
I understand your problem with the language barrier, but, I can only give quiz questions in English, as I do not speak any other.
It seems it is getting the grey matter moving, so I will leave it until someone requests the answer.
Cannot leave you to wreck your brains before the weekend, so answer is below, starting from one letter and building it up one letter at a time until we reach the nine letter word.
I
IN
SIN
SING
STING
STRING
STARING
STARTING
STARTLING

I cheated and googled it; therefore, I did not answer. But fun quest
I was lucky, as I remembered from a few years back that STRING had 6 letters that could be reduced to 1, so I had a good start, and went longer.
My daughter set me this one and was surprised when I answered it in under 5 minutes.
I set her a real beauty.
English word with 15 letters, none of which are repeated. Use Google if you want. Amazing answer.
