This was a really tricky riddle.. Great job.. I would've never thought of that one or the answer!
What about:
Aitch.
REmove "Aitc" and the rest will be prnounced "H"!

Nice Teaser
Nice Teaser
good one
I wondered why this had such a high difficulty rating. I know its pronouncet "G".
nice
MindTrap, MindTrap, MindTrap. so many of this site's riddles came from that game. it is a fun game though, so thumbs up to you.
Cool! I liked it! More please!
what does Queue mean, anyway- if it is a word, as is mentioned in the riddle
Queue means a line. As in to stand in line is to queue up.
Anyway, good teaser - I found it rather simple, though, once I realized that four letters from 5 leaves one, so I just needed to find a letter in the alphabet that sounds like a five-letter word.
Good one!

Just go through the alphabet and you know you'll hit it. Very fun though.
Nice one! I don't think I even knew that word.

is "q" a word?jw
The question doesn't imply that "q" is a word. It simply asks which word doesn't change in pronunciation.
It's the word "queue" that doesn't change in pronunciation. "q" itself isn't a word, and the question doesn't imply that it is.

i liked going thru the alphabet trying to come up with a one letter word. thank you for a fun teaser.
Good one! I like it
mmm that was somewhat easy. took me a minute though, i dont use that word often
I found it a bit easy. I'm always checking jobs in my printer so I see the word often. Good teaser.
Sweet
If I misread the question, what if you took away "Queu" and left the "e"?
Anyways, good teaser.

QUITE easy. i have advanced vocab if u havent noticed
Yay! I got that one quickly!
All I could think of was Tea (T) and Pea (P), but I knew that wasn't right... (Gee, wonder why?)
Very clever! I might not be that good at these, but I thought it was pretty tricky!

I'm thinking Queue is not a word.
