Talk:complect

Car Talk puzzle entry

Complecting was the answer to today's Car Talk puzzle. The puzzle was to find the longest English word from which you can drop one letter at a time and have a new common English word at each step.[1] For example, from the word sprite, you can drop the e to make spit, the s to make pit, the p to make it, and the t to leave I.
