Riddle

I am a food with 5 letters. If you remove the first letter I am a form of energy. Remove two and I'm needed to live. Scramble the last 3 and you can drink me down. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.Bread

B.Grain

C.Yeast

D.Wheat

Hint: It's a word with 5 letters, starting with "W".

Answer

Wheat

Why this is the answer

Dropping WHEAT's first letter leaves HEAT (a form of energy); dropping the first two leaves EAT (needed to live); and scrambling the last three letters, E-A-T, spells TEA, something you drink.
