As you didn't say remove letters from the word Sorry, wrong answer. OK let me clear this up. Start with an 8 letter word, remove one letter to make a new 7 letter word, remove one letter from the new word to make a new 6 letter word and so on until you have a 1 letter word.

MauriceMynah Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I advise you to put your helmet on AND hide behind the sofa for that one FTM, I think there may be some who will suggest that chemical symbols are not in fact words, and that the answer might go down like a PB balloon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBerkshireBoy Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Probably won't make me any friends but I like it when you have to think outside of the box so from me. How many sides does a circle have? How many wheels does the average road going car have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 circle = 2 inside and outside cars wheels, too many, 4 + spare, plus steering wheel, flywheel, then the wheels for the belt tensioners, probably every different make of car is different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
