Five Letters But One Left When Two Removed
What word of five letters has only one left when two letters are removed?
Any 5-letter word with the word ‘one’ somewhere in it. Examples include shone, stone, alone, money, loner, phone or ornery. Note it doesn’t say there is only one letter left, but only ‘one’ left. Tricky tricky.

You put the answer down as ornery? As it can’t be as the question states 5 letters not 6 and take 2 away leaving the word one? Please understand doesn’t matter that the word one is not in order but it does need to be a 5 letter word.

Another alternative but from a different angle is queue.
Take away two letters, u and e, and only one remains (the q). completely different take on the problem, but still a valid result.

The answer is :
THREE
3-2=1
and it is a 5 letter word

so if you take a word like phone and take away p and h you would be left with one as in the word one not 1 letter left

It’s like this we are in letters not numbers
So the correct thing is that when you have a word like ‘alone’ and you remove two letters ‘a’ and ‘l’ then you remain with ‘one’
