Riddle
What word is that, which, deprived of its first letter, leaves you sick?
Choose an answer
A.Ill
B.Sound
C.Song
D.Music
Hint: It's a word with 5 letters, starting with "M".
Answer
Music
Why this is the answer
This relies on an old, loose pun: removing the first letter from 'MUSIC' leaves 'USIC,' which said aloud sounds a bit like 'you sick' (as in 'are you sick?'). It's a stretch of wordplay rather than an exact letter-for-letter fit.
