Riddle

What eight letter word has 'kst' in middle, in the beginning and at the end?

Choose an answer

A.Backpack
B.Kickstand
C.Handstand
D.Inkstand
Hint: It's a word with 8 letters, starting with "I".

Answer

Inkstand

Why this is the answer

The intended answer, INKSTAND (from "ink" plus "stand"), does contain the letters K, S and T clustered near its middle, though the printed clue about that pattern repeating at the very start and end appears distorted by scanning errors and doesn't check out cleanly letter-by-letter.
