The idea behind this game is to start with a long word and eliminate one letter at a time. Every time you eliminate a letter, the remaining letters must spell another word. (Okay, so it's actually a bit easier to start with a one-letter word and build up to a larger word.)
Here are two decent examples:
cremated o
created or
create ora
crate oral
rate coral
ate choral
at chorale
a chorales
What's the longest word you can come up with?
