Riddle

What 8 letter word can have a letter taken out and still be a word?

Choose an answer

A.Elephant
B.Sandwich
C.Umbrella
D.Envelope
Hint: It's a word with 8 letters, starting with "E".

Answer

Envelope

Why this is the answer

Removing the final 'e' from the eight-letter word 'envelope' leaves 'envelop,' which is also a real word (meaning to wrap or surround).
