What is THE WORD????

THERE IS A COMMON ENGLISH WORD THAT IS NINE LETTERS LONG. EACH TIME YOU REMOVE A LETTER FROM IT, IT REMAINS A ENGLISH WORD-RIGHT DOWN TO A SINGLE LETTER.. WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL WORD, AND WHAT ARE THE WORDS AFTER REMOVING ONE LETTER AT A TIME?

  1. DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA???? HOW ABOUT THIS ONE
    YOU REMOVE THE OUTSIDE AND COOK THE INSIDE THEN YOU EAT THE OUTSIDE AND THROW AWAY THE INSIDE??? WHAT DID YOU EAT?

    1. No, Gary and I can not think of one word. We asked our friends and still can’t come up with a word.

      By the way does the letters have to start leaving from the beginning or end?

    2. These are quite a challenge. Could the answer to “throw away the outside and eat the inside, ETC. be” CORN ON THE COB??????

  2. We are wracking our brains down here in Florida trying to figure out the 9-LETTER WORD. Even my brother from NEW JERSEY who is a PUZZLE FANATIC can’t figure this one out.

  3. FOR ALLL WHO TRIED THIS WAS A HARD ONE.

    THE BASE WORD IS STARTLING—STARTING–STARING–STRING—STING–SING–SIN–IN AND I
