Minute Mystery: The Pronunciation Question

Bite-sized brain teaser to solve in a minute or less.

 

 

The Pronunciation Question

What five‐letter word is pronounced the same even if you remove four of its letters?

 

 

Solution

Consider the word "queue"
  • "Queue" is a five‐letter word.
  • If you remove the last four letters ("ueue"), you're left with the letter "Q".
  • Both "queue" and "Q" are pronounced the same way.


The word is "queue"
