HUSKER 37 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 BRAIN TEASER FOR THE DAY What if this was the only question on the exam to pass high school English? Would you graduate? Okay you brainiacs, here is a brain teaser for you. What nine letter word in the English language is still a word when each of the nine letters is removed one-by-one? And NO googling fer the answer!

Startling If we're removing letters at random, if you remove the (a) first...the word would be Strtling. So either we can't remove any random letter at anytime or that word doesn't work.
