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.
