I do too many crossword puzzles. it is a Scottish cap, short for Tam-o-shanter.
Thanks for sticking up for me, TL. I like your solution better. Although you should lay off the gin and go with win.

[Gizmokid2005]

Haha. I see that. But still not the "full word" as would be preferred.

I'll give you the weekend to stew on it and see if you can't figure out another one

WTF? Now you are asking for it!

See Karl, there is no 'win' when Gizmo is running the show!

LOL, this thread reminded me of an old video game at the casino, durring the games preview/demo mode, when nobody was playing, cause nobody was in there durring the day, be all quiet in the arcade, then all the sudden a big loud "winners don't use drugs" that you could hear from across the arcade.

There is a common 7 letter English word which has a peculiar characteristic. Remove one of its letters and you have another word. In fact you can keep taking a letter away, one at a time and each time you will have a new word, continuing until you have a 1 letter word. What is this 7 letter word and what are the words created by removing a letter at a time?

ANSWER (Almost TL....): Snowing --> Sowing --> Swing --> Sing --> sin --> in --> i

I almost did...but he used GIN instead of SIN...otherwise he would've gotten full credit

I rest my case....

He is lucky he is all the way on the other side of the country otherwise I might have committed a major sin!
