Transcript of “Letter Removal Riddle”
Hey Grant, I have a word riddle for you.
Oh, please.
What English word can have four of its five letters removed and still retain its original pronunciation?
I don’t know if this was French. It’d be a lot easier.
Well, that’s not a bad instinct there.
We’re talking about a five-letter word.
Take away four, you still have the original pronunciation of the five-letter word.
I don’t know. What is it?
How about speaking of French or speaking of lining up in England?
Oh, Q. Very good. Very good. Excellent.
Yeah. Well, if you have a question for us, call us 1-877-929-9673 or send an email to words@waywordradio.org.
