In reply to Elizmay. @Elizmay Thanks for letting me know. I forgot the step to remove the t to make staring. I've added it now.

Step 2 for startling is incorrect. If you remove the a, you get strting and not string…

in Startling you mentioned both T’s but in acuallity you only made removing one T into a step. You had a total of seven not eight steps like you should have.

What about removing letters to create new words?

Isn’t Breathing the answer? As common as air.

That’s a great question. In my solving zest I may have forgotten to take that into account. It’s possible that common as air just means it’s a common word, which all but stringier are. I’m not sure how to measure how common a word is to get the most common word to have a single word as the answer. Ideas?

But how do any of these apply to “common as air”?
