EXPLANATION:
Alrighty, let’s break this riddle down! The riddle is asking us to find a word that has six letters in it, and when we take away one letter, we are left with a word that means twelve of something.
The answer to this riddle is “dozens.” Let me explain why.
The word “dozens” has six letters in it. When we take away the letter “s,” we are left with the word “dozen,” which means twelve of something. So, when we subtract just one letter from “dozens,” we are left with “dozen,” and that’s why the answer to the riddle is “dozens.”
I hope that makes sense! Keep on riddling!
Well, that’s all for today. See you on the next riddle!
