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:

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.
