What 7 letter word becomes longer when the third letter is removed?
Common Wrong Answers
“Longer”
While 'longer' does imply an increase in length, it does not fit the riddle's requirement of being a 7-letter word that becomes 'longer' when the third letter is removed.
“Lengthy”
'Lengthy' is a 7-letter word that suggests something is long, but removing the third letter does not lead to a meaningful word or fit the criteria of the riddle.
“Journey”
'Journey' is a 7-letter word, but removing the third letter does not create a word that directly relates to the concept of becoming longer.
