I wonder if there might be more than one answer to the Out on a Limb puzzler from this week. I didn’t hear the beginning of the puzzler, so I don’t know if the model had to start and end in the same letter. If it does, then RANGER is probably the correct answer. If NOT, then I suggest:
Pinto
Pint
Pin
Pi
a. this is another in a series of recycled Puzzlers.
b. I’m pretty sure they said it works the same if you remove letters from the start of the name, so “not” and “nger” aren’t words.
b. Nope, just last letter.
