WOW!
Really cute riddle!!
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.
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!
I like the other versions, but the one given is more of a teaser...it's not something you would first think of.
old.
i luv it! good job!
HAHA....loved it
Eye (I) also works.
That was reeeeeeeeaaaaaly good
Enjoyable, but I mailed an envelope yesterday with two letters in it!
I thought "Eve" ...
haha, funny good one!
you can put 2 letters in a letter
I have mailed many envelopes with more then one letter in them
That was really good!

Clever, but I would reword it to read ... and has "A" letter in it...
Good Job!
Good Job!
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).
Hilarious!
Best I've seen on here for a while. Like it!
Thought it was "eye" also. Good one.

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"

Very interesting how about eke or eve.
As old as Abe Lincoln's grandma.
By the way, eye ,ewe,and eke(what ever that is) all have 3 letter in them.Read the question.
haha...i liked it , plus it was easy
I liked it. It gave me a laugh. Nothing wrong with that.
you forgot about eve.....duh!!!
I don't care if it's old or not, it made me giggle, thanks
A good alternate answer would be EYE: begins with e ends with e and it contains one letter, I

What about epistle? That's singular
A lot of fun. Epistle, like that also.
Old....but still cute, always makes me smile.

I just knew it was eye. Just goes to show things aren't what they seem to be. Thanks for the wonderful post.

This is an old one but it always stumps me every time i read it. I have no Idea why but it does.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. Although this teaser was very tricky, I got it very quickly.
