Only for very clever Fisoers

Post by pa102aw »

See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common?

1. Banana

2. Dresser

3. Grammar

4. Potato

5. Revive

6. Uneven

7. Assess

Question 2. What if this was the only question on the exam to pass high school English and earn your Diploma. Would you graduate?

What nine letter word in the English language still makes a word when eight letters are removed one by one?

2. Take away the T = Staring
3. Take away the A = String
4. Take away the R = Sting
5. Take away the T = Sing
6. Take away the G = Sin
