I’ve been on a riddle kick recently, so we’ll close off the work week with a favorite::
What starts with an E, ends with an E, usually contains one letter, but is NOT the letter E ?
See the answer here.
Good one.

Alternatively, it could be an eye. Usually the word just contains I, since I is more common than eye. But envelope is the more clever answer.

I thought eye too.

Eye was my first thought, but than I got it. :)

I thought Epsilon, but that doesn’t end with an E.

I just said, “ENVELOPE” really loudly at work. I’m just sitting in here alone and people can hear talking from other offices.
I have no friends.

Sandy, this Brain Game doesn’t meet your usual standards.
It’s almost as if you mailed it in.
Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

I thought it was EWE. But ENVELOPE is awesome.

I got it! Because I know this riddle: “What word starts with T, ends with T, and is full of T?” Answer: teapot — made me think about “one letter” being a different meaning.
