There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
(I wonder if there may be more than 1 solution…)
will post the answer in a day or two in the ‘comments’ section below…

Hint: The last letter standing: ‘I’
2nd Hint: The last 2 letters standing: ‘IN’
The base word is Startling - starting - staring - string - sting - sing - sin - in - I
ah I was thinking you had to remove the LAST letter of it.
Yearh, me too, not just any letter
