Question
Which of these words produces a new word each time a letter is removed, until and including the last remaining letter: Startling; Roadsweeper; or Benchmarking?

Answers

Startling(startling, starting, staring, string, sting, sing, sin, in, I - it is sometimes claimed that startling is the longest word which allows this, but there are other nine-letter words which enable it, such as stringier, and plurals such as cleansers, and drownings - there is also a ten-letter word, splittings, albeit a plural - on which basis theoretically startlings could be a ten-letter word too, although it is arguably not a normal plural term - see lots more puzzles)   Your Comment
