Cascas Jan 22, 2002	Really cute riddle!!
jizzyhuggs Dec 20, 2002	I knew the answer, but i still stand by my alternative. .'eye'. It starts with e, it ends withe, and the only letter in it is I.
krishnan Mar 16, 2004	Another solution similar to that of Jizzyhuggs' : Ewe. Starts with e, ends with e and has only 1 letter in it, 'U'. But the given solution makes much more sense!
Amjer2911 Mar 07, 2005	I like the other versions, but the one given is more of a teaser...it's not something you would first think of.

cloughme Jul 28, 2007	Clever, but I would reword it to read ... and has "A" letter in it... Good Job!
rbasch Jul 28, 2007	I thought the answer was "ewe" like someone else... oh well, it was fun being wrong (though I wonder if we really have 3 valid answers: ewe, eye, envelope).
scallio Jul 28, 2007	Hilarious!
Hungrygit Jul 28, 2007	Best I've seen on here for a while. Like it!

shawneeo Jul 28, 2007	Oh, I thought you were in sixth grade, lmurray! Groooooaaannnnn... groaner groaner groaner... I sent an envelope yesterday with 20 letters in it, so, uh... no. My answer was "eye", and the other answer "ewe" I never would have thought of but that's good too. The "given" answer is, cute, funny, that's all I'll say. Thanks, though, I always appreciate a teaser, even when it makes me go: "groannn"
Trishgal Jul 28, 2007	Very interesting how about eke or eve.
doehead Jul 28, 2007	As old as Abe Lincoln's grandma.

BrenBeadSP Jul 28, 2007	I don't care if it's old or not, it made me giggle, thanks
shaidar9haran Jul 28, 2007	A good alternate answer would be EYE: begins with e ends with e and it contains one letter, I
(user deleted) Jul 28, 2007	What about epistle? That's singular
wm0912 Jul 28, 2007	A lot of fun. Epistle, like that also.
