Many thanks Steve. I forgot when I won the tiebreaker against Nik that I had arranged a Zoom talk for the WI on ‘Sex scandals and secrets of the Royal Court from 1660 to 1830’ by a speaker on the Hampton Court Team!  WI is usually Thursday but we moved nights to accommodate this speaker. 😋

[retired]

Bern is still working it out.

[SANTED]

I guess shorterer didn't cut it

[OldBerkshireBoy]

Which 8 letter word can you remove 1 letter from and still have a word, then carry on removing 1 letter each time until you have a 1 letter word remaining?

Starting now and I`ll check answers tomorrow.

[FairTmiddlin]

Alphabet

Start from Z you would have A left.

As you didn't say remove letters from the word
