What is a common English word that 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?

Answer 1

There are at least four words that meet that criteria: startling, stringier, sparkling, and splitting.

Example :

STARTLING

starting

staring

string

sting

sing

sin

in

I

Other Words

If a plural "s" is allowed, these words are also nine letters : cleansers, splatters, drownings, wrappings, starvings and trappings. Similarly, the word discusses, and the past tense forms replanted and restarted (end with A). Also scrapping and strapping (if you allow pi as an English word).

*These two words share part of the sequence above:

stringier - stingier - stinger - singer - singe - sine- sin in - I

splitting - spitting - sitting - siting - sting - sing - sin - in - I

Answer 2

the answer, is STARTLING because, if you remove the "L" you get starting, then you remove the seconed "T" and you get staring, next you remove the "A" and youre left with the word string. you then take away the "R" and you have sting. then, you take away the other "T" and you have the word sing. if you now, take away the "G" you have sin, and if you take away the "S" you have in. im sure you no, the last one, but here it is any way, take away the "N" and you've got I. information found at: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=O4yV2RJoDWQ
