Riddle
Curtail me thrice, I am a youth; behead me once, a snake; complete, I'm often used, in truth, when certain steps you'd take.
Choose an answer
A.A stairway
B.A rung
C.A trellis
D.A ladder
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 7 letters, starting with "A".
Answer
A ladder
Why this is the answer
Removing the last three letters of "ladder" leaves "lad" (a youth); removing just the first letter leaves "adder" (a snake); the whole word "ladder" is what you climb, step by step.
